Who should apply
We encourage everyone to consider becoming an engaged member of a CMS committee, however, we particularly welcome people who have not previously served with the CMS, or identify with, are connected to, or have experience with historically excluded groups:
- Racialized, Black, and/or People of Colour (“Visible Minorities”)
- People with disabilities (including invisible and episodic disabilities)
- 2SLGBTQIA+ and/or gender and sexually diverse individuals
- “Aboriginal” and/or Indigenous Peoples (First Nation Peoples, Métis Nation, and Inuit)
- Women
If you are excited about participating in CMS activities but you aren’t sure if your past experiences align perfectly with a given role/committee, the Nominating Committee encourages you to express your interest.
Determination of membership
Every committee of the CMS operates under its own Terms of Reference (TOR). The Nominating Committee will take into account the current composition of each committee and its TOR when selecting persons for nomination. Once nominated, approval is required by the CMS Executive and Board prior to appointment.
