The Shooting Federation Nominating Committee is now accepting nominations for the Shooting Federation of Canada’s Board of Directors for the upcoming election at the Annual Meeting in September 2025.
The Shooting Federation of Canada (SFC) is an incorporated, not-for-profit association that is governed by an elected Board of Directors. It is the National Sport Governing Body responsible for the promotion, development and governing of organized, recreational and competitive target shooting in Canada.
It is recognized by Sport Canada, the Canadian Olympic Committee (COC), the Canadian Paralympic Committee (CPC) and other organizations involved in the Canadian sport system. SFC is recognized internationally by the International Shooting Sports Federation.
The Nominating Committee is composed of three independent Shooting Federation volunteers, whose mandate is to review all submissions, interview all candidates and then recommend candidates to stand for election to the Board with selections based on identified organizational needs.
The committee is seeking nominations for candidates to fill two Director-at-large positions for three-year terms. Currently, the key competencies the Board is looking for include legal expertise, technology, human resources, and diversity & equity in line with Shooting Federation’s long-term planning. There are requirements to serve as a Director under Canada’s Not-for-Profit Corporations Act, in addition to these, strengths in any of the competency areas are an asset. Note if elected, Directors will be required to abide by all policies which would include safe sport items such as criminal record checks, required online training modules and agreement to a Code of Conduct.
To aid in the selection process and to provide the Nominating Committee with the required context for interviews, we ask that candidates submit a cover letter and resume to the nomination committee. Please email your information to the Chair of the Nominations Committee by forwarding to Lisa Roddie at members@sfc-ftc.ca who will collect on behalf of the committee.
To aid the nominating committee in the review process, we encourage interested candidates to indicate their interest as soon as possible. The call for nominations will be open until noon on July 23rd, 2025.
