The Society’s Public Representatives are valued members of Council who bring their varied expertise and insight to the table and ensure the public’s perspective is reflected in Council’s decision-making.
We’re looking for three members of the public, with a keen interest in contributing to Nova Scotia’s legal profession and to their community, to fill three vacant Public Representative seats on Council.
We value diversity within our Council and committees and encourage members of equity deserving groups to apply as we seek to reflect Nova Scotia’s diverse population.
Public Representatives have full voting rights on Council and sit on several of our committees. The time commitment includes up to eight Council meetings per year, committee meetings, and time spent reviewing necessary reading material.
Are you interested in being considered for such an appointment?
To be considered, submit an expression of interest, a skills matrix and brief resume (1 or 2 pages). In your expression of interest, please describe your background, interests, and experience, and indicate why you wish to serve on the Society’s Council as a Public Representative.
Those not selected will remain in a pool of interested candidates who may be asked to serve on a committee should a vacancy arise.
Submit your expression of interest by 5:00 p.m. on April 7, 2025 to Jacqueline Mullenger at elections@nsbs.org.
