PDACL - Board of Directors

Role of the Board

What is the role of the Board?

The Board is the governing body of PDACL and employs an 'Executive Director' to implement and direct the programs.

The board consists of nine or more volunteers with various positions:
  • President
  • Vice-President
  • Secretary
  • Treasurer
  • Five other Acting Board Members
  • Past President when applicable

Board members are normally elected by the membership at the Annual General Meeting for a one-year term.  The outgoing president becomes the Past President and is a member of the board for a further year.  Board members can be appointed upon application by the Board if vacancies occur before the date of the next annual general meeting.

All decisions taken by the Board are arrived at by resolutions, discussions and voting at the regular Board Meetings.  A simple majority is required for motions to be carried.  A record of these decisions is available on this website and restricted to 'logged in' members of PDACL.

Board Meetings - Schedule

Board Meeting Schedule

The schedule for the monthly regular board meetings has been selected to ensure that as many board members as possible will be able to attend.  This schedule will be updated whenever necessary.

Generally, the meetings are held on the first Thursday of the month at 10am.  New location: 118 McMillan, Parksville (Program Manager's office).

The Board of Directors have implemented a new format to the board meetings. The Board will meet from 10:00 - 11:30am, the meeting will then be adjourned. Directly following the Board meeting a 'Questions to the Board' open forum will be held from 11:30-12:00pm (noon). This open forum is for PDACL members to ask any questions that may be on your mind. Responses to questions will be given directly, unless the answer is unknown, by any of the Board members present. In this case, responses will be sent by e-mail or letter in a timely manner. Please note that not all Board members may be present during the open forum.

We look forward to meeting and hearing from the members of PDACL.

These days/times/locations may be changed from time to time. Interim meetings of the Board may be called as needed.
