Our Board The Board of Directors of DIAC is made up of volunteer representatives from member companies. Board members serve terms of four years in duration and may stand for re-election at the end of their four year term. Board members are elected by the membership at the annual general meeting and usually sit on one or more committees of the Board. Board Committees include: Audit & Finance, Technorama & Conventions, Regulatory & Industry Affairs, Membership, Market Research & Data, Commercial Laboratories and Executive & Governance. DIAC’s by-laws and governance structure allow for members in good standing to nominate employees/owners of member companies to the Board of Directors and at the annual general meeting the membership votes for those nominated to sit on the Board for a term which can be 1-4 years dependent on the board vacancy. The elected directors are responsible for electing the executive of the Association. This takes place at the Board meeting immediately following the AGM, which in this case was June 22, 2021. |

Thank you, Jim for your four years of service on the executive of DiAC and your continued service as Past President for the next two years. | Jim Wareing of The Aurum Group holds the role of Past President. Jim’s tenure as President spanned the two toughest years the Association has ever had to manage. His unwavering support, time commitment and pragmatic approach was a significant contribution to the Association and even though times were tough, we managed to increase our profile with external stakeholders, build a better communications and management system to add value to our members, broaden our membership definitions and revamp our by-laws. We also delivered our first virtual conference which was a resounding success. Jim and The Aurum Group are representative of the commercial laboratory sector of the Association. |
