There are three main spheres that the Chairperson has to manage: •Assisting with the planning of meetings •Running the meetings •Ensuring that the Committee is achieving its goals The Committee Clerk will chair the meeting as the Acting Chair until a new Chair is appointed or for the duration of the meeting. During the meeting, the floor will be opened for Committee members to nominate fellow members for the position of Chair and Vice Chair. In order for their name to stand, an individual must accept the nomination. If there are multiple nominations and nominees willing to serve, voting will be done through ballots. If a Committee member is participating virtually, voting will be done virtually via Zoom. The Committee members will send a private Zoom chat message to the Committee Clerk with their vote. The Committee Clerk will compile all the votes and provide the results to the Committee. The Committee Clerk will then ask if any member would like to put forward a motion that the selected individual be appointed as Chair or Vice Chair for 2024. Once the Chair and Vice Chair have been appointed, the meeting can be turned over to the appointed Chair or the Committee Clerk can continue as the Acting Chair for the remainder of the meeting with approval from the newly elected Chair.
