Electoral Area Directors Forum 2020


Publishing Date

The next Electoral Area Directors’ (EAD) Forum will be held on February 4 and 5, 2020 at the Radisson Vancouver Airport Hotel in Richmond, BC. The Forum will begin at noon on February 4th, and end at noon on February 5th. Registration is now open.

The Electoral Area Directors' Forum focuses on issues of concern to electoral area directors and provides an opportunity to discuss common problems and share potential solutions to the problems identified. The conference is open to electoral area directors and their alternates, regional district chairs, and regional district staff.

Director Grace McGregor, Electoral Area Representative on the UBCM Executive, will work with staff to build the agenda around matters of current concern to those representing electoral areas. In addition, Electoral Area Directors can submit their own ideas or examples of best practices for discussion at the Forum. Please submit suggested Forum topics by November 22.

The Local Government Leadership Academy Forum is scheduled immediately after the EAD Forum from February 5-7. Both events take place at the Radisson Hotel Vancouver Airport in Richmond so that Electoral Area Directors may attend both events and save on travel costs.
