Any individual, or groups of individuals, may make an initial nomination.

Any contract OSSTF member with a minimum of 5 years experience with Thames Valley District School Board may be nominated.

On the nomination form and on the brochure, a series of nomination criteria are included for the guidance of nominators.

Each Branch and Bargaining Unit will select a candidate.
