Call for nominations to the BIFHSGO Board 

The board is looking for members to join for a two-year term to help set the future direction for our society and deliver our excellent programs. We are looking for several directors to serve as:  Vice President, Membership, Programs, Communications and Outreach.

If you are willing to join the board but aren’t sure what role you would like to take on, please consider sitting as a director-at-large.Some of these activities can be done virtually, and our board meetings are also held online, so residence outside Ottawa is not an impediment.

We know from your feedback that you find our program informative and inspiring. For the society to continue providing meaningful activities and resources and communicating those opportunities effectively to our members, your help is essential. Please let us know where and how you can contribute by contacting Dianne Brydon at pastpresident@bifhsgo.ca.

We look forward to having you join us!
