The appointment process for multiple Governor positions on the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) Board of Governors was launched on October 24th, 2017 on the GIC appointments process website. Your assistance in sharing this notice and promoting it with eminent Canadian and international researchers and development experts within your networks would be greatly appreciated.
Context:
You may be aware that the Privy Council revised the process for all Order-in-Council appointments. The new approach seeks to support an open, transparent, and merit-based selection process – one that will result in the recommendation of high-quality candidates who achieve gender parity and truly reflect Canada’s diversity. For more information about the new selection process for Governor in Council (GIC) appointments, please visit the GIC webpage.
