The Victoria Division’s Nominations Committee is now welcoming candidates for the 2026 board director election. Nomination Papers can be found here.
The board of directors represents the interests of our VDFP membership and advances the vision – a community where family physicians thrive and lead excellent care for all – in alignment with Division values and mission. A director role is a unique opportunity to advocate for fulfilling, sustainable family practice in Victoria and actively engage at the tables where decisions are made.
Three openings for 2026-27
There are six elected director positions, and in 2026-27, there are three openings. Three incumbent board directors are seeking re-election. However, all candidates will be considered equally, regardless of their current positions.
All Division members in good standing are strongly encouraged to consider this opportunity. You will be joining a strong, cohesive, and supportive group with a proven track record of getting things done for physicians in our community!
Time commitment, remuneration, support
The board meets no more than once a month for three hours (in-person). The average required prep time is one hour.
Board directors are paid the current Doctors of BC sessional rate for meeting and prep time and for any other activities they choose to participate in due to their director role.
The Division is committed to supporting board members in any way we can. If you are passionate about making a difference, you will be taught all else.
