Call for Director Nominations
The Strathcona BIA Board of Directors actively works to build a thriving, mixed-use, and resilient local economy here in Strathcona. We are currently seeking business members with particular experience and skills in governance and marketing. Members with a diversity of experience and interests in areas like placemaking, local economic development, community safety, and a passion for Strathcona, are also encouraged to apply.
How we work
The Board can have between 8 and 12 directors. The Board is made up of 12 board seats. All directors must meet the needs and expectations of the role and responsibilities as outlined in the Election Guidelines. There are four director seats up for election in 2024 (three directors have terms ending in 2024 and there is one vacancy on the board).
The length of a term for an SBIA Board Director is two years. Our meetings take place monthly for one and a half hours over lunch and are currently hosted in person. Board Members can be property owners, business tenants, or an authorized representative of an SBIA member property or business. Property owners must make up the majority of the Board per SBIA bylaws.
