Nominations for the 2025 AFP NS Chapter Board of Directors are now open. As part of our commitment to IDEA and finding ways to remove barriers to inclusion, we are opening up the process to include nominating yourself or others to the board. Representation matters and we are seeking to increase the diversity on AFP NS Chapter’s existing board, particularly those who self-identify as members of under-represented groups. We hope you will consider adding your voice, or someone’s you know, to the table.
The 2024 board members will assume office starting January 1, 2025. Nominations deadline has been extended: they are now due by May 22, 2024.
AFP Nova Scotia welcomes you to attend any of our monthly Board meetings. Please visit our events calendar for our upcoming meeting schedule.
