Call for Nominations of Next CGS President-Elect

The next President-Elect for the Canadian Geotechnical Society (CGS) will be appointed January 1, 2024 and this individual will become CGS President for 2025 and 2026. The process leading to this appointment, which will be confirmed at the 76th Canadian Geotechnical Conference (GeoSaskatoon 2023) to be held in Saskatoon, SK, October 1 - 4, 2023, has now commenced.

In accordance with the CGS official procedures, a Nominating Committee was formed to propose a suitable candidate. The committee comprised Past President Ian Moore (who served as Chair of the Nominating Committee), Dharma Wijewickreme (previous President), Andrea Lougheed (general member of CGS) and Vincent Castonguay (general member of CGS).

The Nominating Committee has put forward the name of Craig Lake. Craig Lake has agreed to be a candidate, and his statement of qualifications and objectives for the Society will be published in the Summer 2023 issue of Canadian Geotechnique (as well as other platforms).

Lake has been an active member of the CGS for over 20 years, and his roles as the Chair of the 62nd Canadian Geotechnical Conference in Halifax NS, Co Editor-in Chief of the Canadian Geotechnical Journal (2017 – 2021) and CGS Vice President Technical (2023 and 2024) are considered of particular relevance with respect to this announcement. Lake is an internationally-recognized leader in GeoEnvironmental Engineering research and practice and has received awards from the Society for his service contributions and professional achievements including the Geoenvironmental Award and the AG Stermac Award.

While Craig Lake is the candidate proposed by the Nominating Committee, other nominations are also welcomed. Any general member of the CGS may nominate a candidate for the position of President-elect. Nominations must be received in writing by the CGS National Office by June 15, 2023 (execdir@cgs.ca). Nominations must include the printed names, signatures and membership numbers of at least eighteen (18) general members of CGS, and a statement by the nominated candidate expressing a willingness to serve as President-Elect and then President, if elected.

If there is no additional candidate, Craig Lake will be acclaimed at the CGS Board of Directors meeting in Saskatoon this fall. In the event additional candidates are nominated, the selection of the President-Elect will be made by a general members’ ballot during the summer of 2023.

For further information on this matter, please contact the CGS Executive Director, Michel Aubertin at the National Office (execdir@cgs.ca).
