    Cheryl Bauer-Hyde was appointed past-chair of the board.

    Although the board members were drawn from all regions of Canada, at least one delegate attending the annual general meeting was concerned that another obvious demographic was overlooked when the board was appointed.

    “Notwithstanding that the past chair is a woman, I’m somewhat disappointed that on the new board, I don’t see any women,” said the delegate during a comment period. “I know that there are women working on the [Advocis] committees, but there’s probably 20% to 25% of people in the organization that are women, and I’m assuming that [Advocis] will be rectifying that [oversight] in next year’s board.”

    The Advocis board will also be appointing a non-member of Advocis to represent consumer protection interests, a position that will be filled “in the near future.”
