UOAC Committees

The United Ostomy Association of Canada Inc. conducts its business via committees. For the most part, committees are chaired by a member of the Executive Committee or of the Board of Directors. Committee chairs report to a member of the Executive Committee and are ultimately responsible to the President. Committee chairs report in writing annually to the delegates chosen by each UOAC member chapter prior to the Annual General Meeting. These reports are compiled into the 'Board Book'. All committee chairs and members are volunteers.

The Executive Committee has five members: president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer and immediate past president. For the UOAC fiscal year 2009-2010 the Executive Committee is:

President:

Les Kehoe, Toronto, ON

Vice-President:

Judy Steeves, Fredericton NB

Secretary:

Ferne Oliver, Fredericton NB

Treasurer:

Lynn Murray, Victoria, BC

Immediate Past President:

Doug Graham, Ottawa, ON
