CAPE is pleased to share the list of nominees for all the positions to be filled on the National Executive Committee for the upcoming 2024-2026 mandate.
 

New (11/06/23): The AGM and election period have been postponed to November 29 and November 30 to December 13 respectively.

New (10/27/23): Videos are now available below!

The President and Vice-President EC/LOP/OPBO debates have been recorded and are available to view.

Due to the high number of EC Directors, the Elections and Resolutions Committee, in consultation with all the EC Director candidates, decided to proceed with videos rather than a debate. The VP TR candidates also agreed to do videos instead of a traditional debate.

With the volume of videos and the short timeline, there might have been some typos in the captions that were missed, and we apologize in advance.

  1. 5* candidates running for President: 1 position to fill
  2. 2 candidates running for Vice-President TR: 1 position to fill
