The Forum provides an opportunity to explore challenges common to electoral areas and identify potential solutions. The conference is open to electoral area directors and their alternates, regional district chairs, and regional district staff.
Director Jerrilyn Kirk, Electoral Area Representative on the UBCM Executive, will work with staff to build the agenda around matters of current concern to those representing electoral areas. In addition, Electoral Area Directors can submit their own ideas or examples of best practices for discussion at the forum. Please submit your suggested topics by November 30.
