AFP Canada 2011 Nomination
2011 Nomination Forms:
Canada Foundation Board and Canada Council
Dear AFP Canadian Member:
As a Canadian AFP member, you have the power to influence the focus and direction of the Association in a very concrete way--the AFP Foundation for Philanthropy – Canada and the AFP Canada Council’s nomination’s process. We are pleased to serve as the chairs of the 2010 Nominating Committees. I hope you will help us do the best possible job for AFP and for the profession.
Here is how the process works. You can nominate someone you know who has demonstrated leadership in your region or as a member of an AFP committee or task force. Or you can nominate yourself if you would like to provide service.
Upon nomination, the candidates may receive a letter or a call from the committee asking them for more detailed information on their background. In order to save staff from unnecessary paperwork, we would appreciate your asking individuals to provide a copy of their current resume and ask them if they would be willing to serve before suggesting their name.
The following forms can all be found on the AFP website at:
http://www.afpnet.org/Audiences/MemberNewsDetail.cfm?ItemNumber=4472
- The AFP Foundation for Philanthropy – Canada Nomination Form
- AFP Foundation for Philanthropy – Board Expectations Sheet

The deadline for all completed nomination forms is August 13, 2010.
The evaluation criteria used by both committees includes:
• demonstrated leadership ability
• previous service to AFP, philanthropy and the community locally and/or nationally
• particular leadership needs of the Association at the time candidates are being considered

The AFP Foundation for Philanthropy – Canada’s Nominating Committee will determine a slate of directors (representing Western, Prairie, Central, and Eastern regions and chapter size). The Canada Foundation will also be considering a Chair-Elect position. These slates will be made up of returning and new members.
Thank you in advance for making this process an open search for dedicated and talented leadership for our organization. Please feel free to contact any of the representatives of either nominating committee if you have questions. This is an opportunity to make your voice heard.
