The Ontario Soccer Nominations Committee has completed the initial nomination process, which set out to receive and vet expressions of interest for all board positions, interview and select three candidates to serve as Designated Directors and recommend candidates eligible to be elected by the Ontario Soccer voting membership as Independent and Regional Directors.
The Nomination Committee’s selections and recommendations are based upon candidates having relevant and complimentary skill sets and the individual and collective ability to make an impactful contribution to the board and the organization as a whole.
Summary of the Process
The nomination process began with nineteen (19) candidates in total expressing an interest to serve on the Ontario Soccer Board.
At the conclusion of the nomination process, three (3) candidates did not receive the required support per Bylaw 2 from District Members to support their interest in either a Regional or Independent role and therefore, they were no longer eligible to be considered as a candidate.
