For our 2024* Annual General Meeting (AGM), there are ten internal party positions available for Provincial Council members and one Ombuds position.

Provincial Council is the elected volunteer body responsible for the governance of the BC Green Party. As a governance board, the Provincial Council provides broad strategic direction and high-level goals for the Party and oversight of party operations and finances. It plays a critical role in the healthy operation of our party and its success in the legislature and elections. Being part of the BC Greens’ Provincial Council allows you to take a leadership role while utilizing your skills in a meaningful way.

The Provincial Council is made up of private sector and non-profit professionals and community representatives who care about the future of BC and want to have a positive impact. To meet the challenges and effectively lead this dynamic organization, we are looking for candidates with the skills, experience and knowledge to help with our high-level strategic planning and governance. Previous Board experience is not required, although an asset. 

The Ombuds are there for our members should they wish to lodge a complaint against any member(s) or committee(s) of the Party’s Provincial Council, candidates, riding association executives or at-large members whom they believe to be in violation of the BC Green Party’s Constitution, Bylaws or Rules, its Code of Ethics or Representative Code of Conduct.

Please note that these are volunteer positions.
