Introducing the 2016 WCTA Board of Directors
A record turnout of 206 WCTA members attended the 2016 Annual General Meeting held Wednesday, Feburary 24th at the Whistler Conference Centre in Whistler, BC. An election of WCTA Officers and Directors was held, the new Board is presented below. A personal note from WCTA Past President to outgoing Directors follows.
New WCTA Director Announced
The WCTA Board has selected Pat Differ of JCL Ag Services as interim Board member, replacing Casey O’Connor who due to an extremely busy period starting a new business, was not able to fulfill his time commitment to the Board.
2016 Board of Directors Candidate Slate
Any WCTA member in good standing may put their name forward for open Board of Director positions. The duty of the Board is to steer the association by providing policy and direction to management and staff. More candidates than open positions will force an election which is a good thing. If fewer candidates come forward than there are Board vacancies, the positions will be filled through an election by the Board of Directors.
Exciting Opportunity - Directors Needed
We are in a state of dynamic change in our association, the Turf Management Industry and the world around us. Change is coming from all directions at all times, from both internal and external sources. The WCTA needs leaders who can manage that change, ensuring the association remains strong and successful moving forward.
