This vibrant 12- member committee meets 6 times a year at the Fort Garry Campus and attending virtually is possible. In addition to the committee meetings, members have working group or sub-committee responsibilities.
Terms are typically for three years and a variety of roles are available. The committee seeks representation from all campuses and from excluded support staff (EMAPS) and members of bargaining units.

Good afternoon College of Nursing staff,
Further to the meeting with Dr. Jacquie Ripat, Vice-Dean (Academic Affairs) the first step in forming the Decanal Search/Selection Advisory Committee will be to nominate and elect your staff representatives. To ensure that all Nursing staff members have the opportunity to participate, nominations and elections will be held by electronic (email) ballot.
The period for nominations will stay open until Monday December 18th at 4pm. Please remember that if you nominate a colleague, they must first agree to let their name stand for election, which you should also indicate in your email. You may also nominate yourself.
When it comes time for the election, we will send you the list of nominees from which you will rank in order of preference. The first 4 ranked highest will be the college representatives with the 5th being the alternate. Once the tabulation is complete all College of Nursing staff will receive the election results by email. The list of representatives elected is subject to the approval of the Dean, RFHS, before forming the rest of the committee. This process often takes several weeks before the entire committee is formed and the first meeting called.
Please send your nominations directly to me (Jasmina Veinot at: jasmina.veinot(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:jasmina.veinot@umanitoba.ca>) by the deadline above. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to call/email.
Thank you,
