PIBC Board of Directors
The Board of Directors is responsible for the overall governance of PIBC’s activities and business, including appointing officer positions and certain committee chairs, setting the annual budget, determining policy, setting PIBC's strategic direction, and providing overall governance leadership for the Institute.
The Board consists of eleven voting volunteer members, and is elected every two years. It includes PIBC's President, President-Elect, eight Certified Members, and one Candidate member representative. In addition, the Board may also include non-voting guest participants including representatives of the Institute's Student members.
We officially welcomed our Board of Directors for the 2019-2021 Board term at the 2019 Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Wednesday, May 8th, 2019 at the Westin Bayshore hotel in Vancouver, BC.
