FAQs
What do Board Members do?
Elected Directors contribute to the self-regulation of the dental technology profession
in Ontario in a host of meaningful ways. You participate in decision-making about:
- standards of practice and professional conduct
- competencies for entry to practice and ongoing practice, and
- the development of new programs and policies to guide the profession, as well as relevant regulations and by-laws required under the legislation
Members of the Board also fulfill a critical role through participation on a statutory Committee.
What are the candidate eligibility requirements for Board elections?
The eligibility requirements are set out in Article 10.05 of the College’s By-Laws
How much time will I have to commit if elected to the Board?
There are generally four Board meetings per year in Scarborough, held between the
business hours of 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Dates are set well in advance to help members plan.
Each meeting also requires preparation time—such as reviewing materials in advance of
meetings to be able to fully contribute to discussions.
In addition to this, there is an expectation that Board members participate in at least
one Committee. The time commitment varies depending upon the Committee(s) you
are assigned.
Will I be compensated for my time away from practice?
The College provides Board members with a per diem and reimbursement of
reasonable expenses as set out in the College’s Expense Policy.
How long is the term of office?
Board Members are expected to serve a three-year term. That term officially begins at
the first meeting of the Board after the general election.
If my circumstances change, can I withdraw from the election?
Candidates may withdraw their nomination by giving notice to the College in writing at
