The following form is to be used for nominations for both the AGM and for putting your name forward to fill in a vacant position.

For elections at Annual General Meetings (AGM)

One of the main items of business at the Surrey DPAC Annual General Meeting (AGM) is to elect the Surrey DPAC Board of Directors for the next school year. The AGM is held every year on the fourth(4th) Wednesday in May.

This is done by first electing all directors to a maximum of thirteen (13) directors. After everyone has been voted in, out of the elected directors, those that put their name forward for an Executive position  are then elected.

If you are interested in putting your name forward  to help strengthen PACs and empower parents, please review the following information.

Nominations will be required by midnight on the second (2nd) Wednesday in May. Information on prospective Directors will be made available on the DPAC website and Facebook page by the following Monday. Late nominations will be accepted but might not be distributed due to volunteer capacity.

For vacant positions:

Please fill out the form and submit a minimum of 2 weeks before the next General Meeting along with a letter or email from your school PAC confirming your eligibility. If submitting this form for a vacant position, please only select from the positions available here.
