2. The election of Directors for 2008-09

At the AGM, the Nominating Committee will propose a slate (list) of Directors that represents Ontario's various regions, a cross-disability focus, and diversity within its membership. For 2008-09, Directors will be appointed for one- two- or three-year terms (by random selection) in order to establish a future rotation of vacancies of one-third of the board each year.
