The Vancouver DPAC Executive consists of a maximum of 12 members, including one seat reserved for an Indigenous Person, to be elected by their peers. If you are interested in learning more about the DPAC Executive, please contact any member for more information.
Nominations are accepted starting in May for election to open positions at our June AGM for three-year terms. Nominations are also accepted mid year for the remainder of that school year. Candidates must have a child in the Vancouver school system, be nominated by the PAC at a school their child attends, and complete a nomination form in order to run for election. Officer elections are for a one year term and are selected from the executive.
