Advertising Actual Vacancies I the website regularly declares there are no vacancies on Advis Committees when this is not the case. EEPAC can currently and ai always can, accept additional members. It is counterproductive for th website to declare no vacancies while EEPAC volunteers try to spread th exact opposite message; and

if it is too labour intensive to maintain and publish an accurate count committee vacancies, then at least all the committees with at least on vacancy should be listed on the Committee Vacancies webpage.

Applying and Responding to Applicant

the City process of reviewing, nominating, recommending by Board Control and approval by Council is not made clear to applicants. T process takes much longer than applicants would intuitively expect. Th leads to a perception by the potential volunteer that their offer of servi may not be valued;

it is important to properly set expectations and to do our best to make t process as transparent and understandable as possible; and

a maximum timeframe should be adopted within which an application be reviewed by the nominating committee and forwarded to the Boar
