Online Nomination Form
What to Expect if You’re Elected
Folk Music Ontario (FMO) is now seeking individuals to stand as candidates in the 2022 election of its Board of Directors. Directors will be elected by electronic ballot (or acclaimed) ahead of this year’s Annual General Meeting (September 27, 2022) with terms concluding with the 2025 AGM. For 2022, FMO is looking to fill three board positions through this process.
This year we will be welcoming our community to our 35th annual conference in-person, in London, Ontario, October 13-16th, 2022. We hope that nominees will plan to attend the conference, regardless of their nomination status, and if elected, will attend their first board meeting at the event.
Nominees are required to read our What to Expect If You’re Elected document to better understand the responsibilities of board members.
It is preferred that people use the Online Nomination Form, but if an alternative is required, please contact office@folkmusicontario.ca.
Please submit nomination forms by 11:59PM ET on Friday, August 19th. We thank all our members for their continued support of the organization, and hope some of you will step forward to help guide FMO into the future.
If you have any additional questions or wish to further discuss your interest in running, please contact Joel Elliott, Operations Manager at office@folkmusicontario.ca.
Folk Music Ontario invites self-nominations from all qualified individuals. We welcome submissions from all cultures, religions, and ethnicity, people with disabilities, people of colour, Indigenous peoples, and those of any sexual orientation or gender identity.
