Board Nominations
CWCF is seeking nominations for its board of directors. Serving on the CWCF Board is a great opportunity to help guide the worker co-op movement in this country and for networking with other worker co-operators. To be eligible to run, you must be a worker-member of a CWCF Regular Member (worker co-op or multi-stakeholder co-op with substantial worker control), be nominated by a Regional Federation (currently only in Quebec), or be a developer member or Friend of CWCF. To reflect its commitment to justice, equity, diversity, decolonization, and inclusion, CWCF encourages nominations from equity-denied groups.
There are two at large seats up for election at the AGM.
The Board Candidate Information Kit is available here. Nominations are requested by October 23, but are open up to and including on the floor of the AGM.
The Board Diversity Grid can be found here. Candidates are encouraged to refer to this grid when completing their Candidate Statement.

The Worker Co-op Merit Award, named in honour of the late Mark Goldblatt, goes to an individual who has made outstanding contributions to worker co-operation in Canada.
