World Curling Board Election Candidates
The World Curling Board will feature a series of changes at the Annual General Assembly, being held in Montreal, Canada this September.
Four positions on the board are available for election, with three of those positions being vacated as the current members have reached their maximum term limit on the Board.
Both current Vice President’s — Graham Prouse and Hugh Millikin — along with Director Toyo Ogawa, have reached their maximum term limits with the Board and will not be able to stand for re-election.
Kim Forge will reach the end of her initial term on the Board and is standing for re-election.
A recent call for candidates saw several leaders in the curling community put their names forward for the available positions.
Candidates were asked to supply their CV, a cover letter, a video presentation on why they should be elected along with any other supporting material. All that information is available to view here.
