In spite of our diligent efforts through in-store notices, social media posts, several emails and two deadline extensions, we failed to meet the committee\u2019s recommendation of at least four candidates for three open seats. As per PFC bylaw 5.2,<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">current directors <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">shall serve for three (3) years or until their successors are elected, whichever is longer. Also, open seats&#8211;when they occur&#8211;can be filled by appointment and the approval of current board members (bylaw 5.9). One of the applicants was a current board member who will continue to serve until the next election (Jaime Magiera).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We encourage current members to join our monthly board meetings, to engage with us through our work, let us know if you are interested in working with the board as an appointed director or apply as a candidate for next year\u2019s board election.
