Election Activities

Problems have arisen in the past which have caused embarrassment to candidates, some examples of which should be avoided:

  • Use of any Institute membership list for campaign purposes. Contact information contained on the PIPSC Web Site is provided for the sole purpose of allowing members to contact their Institute representatives for employment-related problems or questions. This information may not be used in unsolicited bulk e-mailings.
  • Use of a logo sufficiently similar to the CP Group or the Institute logo as to imply support.

Please read all materials carefully to ensure that your vote gets counted.

Resumes Submitted by Candidates

All candidates were invited to submit résumés, of 200 words or less, stating their experience/objectives. The translated versions were produced by PIPSC translators. The résumés of candidates for the positions you are eligible to vote for linked in the Position Table above.
