Do you know someone whose experience and perspective would make them a valuable voice on the CANSSI Board of Governors?
CANSSI’s Board Nominating Committee invites you to nominate individuals to represent the statistical sciences and CANSSI stakeholder communities as a Board member (normally for a three-year term beginning on July 1 of the election year).
Board members play a central role in overseeing CANSSI’s programs and policies and advising the Director.
The individuals you propose do not need to be associated with CANSSI’s institutional members, and you do not need to contact them before submitting their names for consideration. We encourage nominees from outside Canada and from beyond academia.
The Board Nominating Committee will use your suggestions to finalize a slate of candidates for presentation to the Board and the institutional members, taking into consideration the need to ensure that the board is balanced according to several factors.
Deadline for suggestions: Sunday, February 22, 2026
Please send your suggestions to Louisa Benhamida, Scientific Coordinator, at info@canssi.ca.
