CAPO Board of Directors Call for Nominations - Closes March 29

The spirit and intent of the Canadian Association of Psychosocial Oncology is to have Board representation across many disciplines, while also considering a national and regional composition, to further support our vision and mission.

The Canadian Association of Psychosocial Oncology (CAPO) promotes an equitable, diverse, inclusive, accessible, and culturally safe environment for all members to feel welcomed, valued, and integrated. CAPO ensures that all voices are heard.

We have openings for five (5) positions to be filled in this years election for the 2024 - 2026 term. The board endeavours to ensure that a balance of disciplines is filled to meet the current needs of the organization. With our most recent bylaw amendments approved at a special meeting of our members, we are pleased to open a second position as a Director for a patient/family representative starting this term.

Nominations are being sought from the following fields:
  • Rehabilitation Services, Member at large, Spiritual/pastoral Care, Medicine, Patient/family, Psychology, Social Work, Nursing
Our particular interest is in seeking members to represent rehabilitation, spiritual/pastoral care and member at large
