Nominations Period Extended for HRE Regional Caucus Representatives Elections

November 20, 2020

Elections, if necessary, for regional caucus representatives set for early December

Call for Nominations

The close of the call for nominations for BCNU's regional human rights and equity (HRE) caucus elections has now been extended one week to November 30 at 12:00 PM. The call for nominations was first issued via email to those who previously self-identified as members of the caucus groups.

If you have not yet already, you may still self-identify and nominate. To do so, please login to the BCNU Member Portal and click on the 'Demographic Information' tab under the 'My Profile' heading. Please allow 24 hours for the system to update. After 24 hours, you will be able to access the nomination form and role descriptions available on the portal.

The call for nominations will close at 12:00 pm PT on Monday, November 30.

How to Vote

To vote in the HRE elections, those members who have self-identified with one or more of the HRE caucus groups, prior to the close of nominations will be notified via email of necessary elections in the region they belong to. The online voting period will then be open from 12:00 pm PT on Tuesday, December 1 through 12:00 pm PT on Friday, December 4, 2020.

Human Rights & Equity Caucuses

BCNU is proud to support HRE caucus groups as we strive to make our union a safe and welcoming place for all. There are four equity-seeking caucus groups including the Indigenous Leadership Circle, LGBTQ Caucus, Mosaic of Colour Caucus and Workers with Disabilities Caucus. In addition, BCNU supports the Men in Nursing Group and the Young Nurses' Network.

Each of the six caucuses will hold elections for regional caucus representatives. These positions will be elected across all 16 BCNU regions. The term of service is January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2023.
