It is the time of year when the board of directors convenes a Nominations Committee to garner support from members to stand in election for the board of directors to govern your Battlefords & District Chamber of Commerce.

Bylaw, Article 6 - Elections - is the bylaw section under which provisions for a period of open nominations is required and the election process is laid out. This open period for nominations will close at the end of business Wednesday, November 20^th, 2024.
