The call for nominations resulted in five nominations for the three director-at-large positions: Jason Dales, David Main, Mike Seymour and Mike Van Ham. One nominee withdrew after close of nominations for personal and professional reasons. Director-at-large candidate statements: JASON dALES I look forward to an opportunity to serve on the Board of Directors as a director-at-large to help BCWWA realize its goals and Ends Policies as outlined in the Strategic Business Plan. For the past six years, my position with the Capital Regional District has afforded me the opportunity to work with a full spectrum of BCWWA members involved dAVId MAIN Over the past few years, I have enjoyed helping to develop a range of wellattended infrastructure and asset management seminars and technical sessions on behalf of BCWWA. It is great to see how much can be done with the efforts of everyone in our industry who volunteers their time, knowledge and experience. While I enjoy developing education and training opportunities, More candidates on page 92. click here to return to table of contents Only one nomination was received for the position of president-elect – Jennifer Crosby; one nomination was received for the position of AWWA director – Ted Molyneux; and one nomination was received for the position of WEF delegate – Len Stein.

While I am happy with the current direction identified by BCWWA, there are several areas upon which I would like to help build. In regard to the Ends Policy of a qualified and competent workforce, I believe there needs to be increased collaboration with the Environmental Operators Certification Program in order to maximize the value of the training offered. I would also like to see the strategic I am excited at the direction of BCWWA to play a larger role in advocacy on behalf of the water sector and I would like to help the Board strengthen this role. Through all my past volunteer and committee work, plus having worked in this industry for many years, I know the excellent work that takes place in our public water utilities. I take offence when poorly researched news media target our industry or distort facts to sensationalize issues. Our public utilities are not funded to ‘advertise and promote’ like many other if you are unsure, or if you did not receive your voting instructions, please contact debbie Vance at dvance@bcwwa.org or 604-433-9354 as soon as possible. If you prefer a paper ballot, please contact Debbie as above. Voting will close at 12:00 pm (noon) on april 2, 2012.

The results of the elections will be announced at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Sunday, April 22, 2012 during the Annual Conference & Trade Show in Penticton, BC. The AGM will take place from 11:00 am to 12:00 pm, at the Penticton Lakeside Resort. Please visit www.bcwwa.org for election updates and more detailed information about each of the candidates. priority for awareness of BCWWA and the value of water focus on increased engagement with our own members, as I feel many are unaware of our vision and core values. Finally, I would like to build upon our Ends Policies to incorporate awareness of disaster and emergency management with respect to critical water infrastructure, because with climate change and population growth, disasters are becoming more and more frequent. Thank you very much for your consideration. household utilities. What would our industry look like if we had advertising budgets like Telus or BC Hydro? In my opinion, one of the biggest challenges we have is in how we can communicate what we do and how we, as an industry, provide value that is unheard of when compared to other commercial utility services. This is where a strong BCWWA can help by leveraging our combined efforts to effectively communicate with customers and stakeholders so that more productive water management discussions can take place. www.bcwwa.org 91
