How to Join a Committee

Take the Opportunity

Are you a Doctors of BC member in good-standing who wants to get involved in the association at a meaningful level? Doctors of BC has nearly 40 committees that focus on areas such as health, negotiations, economics, and public affairs. These committees are comprised of BC doctors who volunteer their time and association staff.

Finding out about committee openings

The opportunity to join a committee takes place several times a year, generally when terms are up. A call for nominations is sent to members via email, as well as posted on our website, outlining which committees are seeking members and submission deadlines. All committee vacancies can also be found on our Committee Opportunities page and can be viewed at any time. As well as outlining current committee opportunities, this page also includes committee-specific needs, required skillsets, and terms of reference.

How to apply for a committee vacancy

Members who are interested in applying for a vacant committee position can do so by completing the online form. Please note only online applications are accepted.

Once the call closes, all applications are sent to the Nominating Committee for consideration. The Nominating Committee will then forward their recommendations to the Board of Directors for final decision on committee appointments, after which all applicants will receive notice of the Board’s decision.
