What to Expect as a Board Member
EDA Board Members are expected to:
- Contribute approximately 8–15 hours of volunteer time per month
- Attend monthly board meetings during their one-year term
- Review and vote on email motions in a timely manner
- Respond to all communications in a timely manner
We welcome expressions of interest from all Victoria NDP members! However, because board positions are limited, we ask that you only seek election when you’re confident you can support the organization’s activities in the year to come. Occasional absences are expected, but overall communication and commitment are essential to the organization’s success!
Why Serve on the Board?
The Board is more than a steering committee — it is the lifeblood of the NDP in Victoria. Board members play a central role in:
- Fundraising for local electoral campaigns
- Growing and engaging our membership through outreach
- Planning and hosting events
- Supporting operational tasks
Board work can include coordinating speakers, reaching out to potential candidates, booking venues, helping with member outreach, creating content for our website, newsletter, or social media, supporting event setup, and much more. If you have specific skills you’d like to contribute, we’d love to hear about them — but no prior experience is required. Enthusiasm and a willingness to help are the most important qualities!
Students and Young Members Encouraged
Serving on your local EDA is a fantastic opportunity for students and young people interested in electoral politics. We strongly encourage you to get involved, regardless of prior experience, and we are happy to provide training and mentorship 🙂
Proposing Motions
If you would like to propose a motion at the AGM that concerns the function or mission of the EDA Board, please email a summary to President@VictoriaNDP.ca in advance so it can be added to the agenda. If you are not sure if your motion applies to this organization, feel free to get in touch — we can always work through it together!
