Result of the ICCS Election of At-Large Directors:
The ICCS is pleased to announce that Martin Howard of Ireland was elected for a second term as At-Large Director. He will hold the position of Treasurer. The election for the positions of At-Large Directors was held at the ICCS AGM on May 26. Three candidates (one from Ireland and two from India) vied for two positions. At the AGM, the President of the Nominating Committee, Prof. Cornelius Remie, informed the Board of Directors of the legal predicament faced by the Indian Association for Canadian Studies. This issue was discussed in camera and after due deliberation, the Board decided to allow the two nominations from India. However, it stipulated the requirement that the result of the vote be based on an absolute majority (i.e. 50 percent plus one vote). It also decided that if it did not elect two Directors-at-Large, it would hold an election next year to fill the position(s). The Board then proceeded with the vote. Only, Martin Howard received the required number of votes to be elected. An election for the second at-Large Director will then be held next year. The ICCS congratulates Martin Howard and sincerely thanks all candidates
