Call for nominations - Student representative

Deadline for nominations: October 15th, 2025

Greetings SETAC PNC, It's time to elect new student representatives to serve on the PNC Board of Directors for the upcoming year. This is an important role to ensure that the voices of the student body are heard and considered in decision-making processes.

The Prairie Northern Chapter of SETAC (SETAC-PNC) is seeking applications from two students who are interested in applying for the positions of student representative to the PNC Board of Directors. This is a one or two-year commitment wherein the successful applicants will assume the position of student representative to the PNC board (year one), and then transition in the second year to the PNC representative to NASAC, SETAC’s North American Student Advisory Council.

Duties of the Student Representative. The duties of the student representative to the board include assisting with the maintenance of the PNC website (posting announcements, details about the upcoming PNC AGM, etc.), aiding in the coordination and planning of PNC annual meetings, and fulfilling other roles as required. During this time the successful applicant will also learn about their upcoming role as the PNC representative to NASAC, and ultimately assume this role in their second year. The duties of the PNC representative to NASAC will be similar in scope to those of the PNC student position but will instead be directed toward the coordination of the SETAC North America Meeting and will also include training the incoming student board member for their role as PNC representative to NASAC. It is ideal (but not a requirement of application) that the interested candidate plans to attend the SETAC North America Meeting during the year they will act as the PNC representative to NASAC. How to apply. Interested students can email a 300-word statement of interest by Wednesday, October 15th, 2025. Along with the statement of interest please provide the following details:

• University, program/degree

• Year of study

• Indicate interest in either 1 and/or 2 year board position

• Supervisor name

Following a review of the applicants by the PNC Board, statements will be sent to all student members of PNC and voted on using an online poll. If you are interested in the position but have further questions, please feel free to contact Jonathan Challis (jonathan.challis@agr.gc.ca) before submitting your statement of interest.
