Number of Board Directors Sought<\/strong><\/p>\n

The CARSP Board can have a maximum of twenty directors.

CARSP Board Directors have the option of completing two back to back three-year terms, however, they must also go through the election process.\u00a0 Of the six Directors whose terms are ending in May, four have opted to run for re-election, and two are stepping down.<\/p>\n

Nominations<\/strong><\/p>\n

Members of CARSP are encouraged to nominate either themselves or another CARSP member. CARSP aims to serve all road safety professionals across the country so nominees should be currently active in one or more areas of road safety (e.g., research, policy\/legislation, enforcement, education, engineering, injury prevention, public health, etc.).<\/p>\n

In addition, we strive to have representation from all Canadian geographic areas.\u00a0 At present, we are encouraging members from the Atlantic Provinces and the Prairie Provinces to apply, along with members of Provincial Governments and those working in Injury Prevention or Enforcement.<\/p>\n
