      Vacancies
      \n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

      \n\u00a0<\/p>\n

      In cases where a position has become vacant mid-term, or remains unfilled following an election, the Community Council may choose to utilize a selection process rather than election. The benefits of selection are that individuals can be chosen and recruited for their specific skills and compatibility to the position.
      \n<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n\u00a0<\/p>\n

      The selection process includes the completion of a Declaration of Interest form and the interviewing of the candidates by a pre-selected committee. As in the business world, criteria is set prior to the interviews and the candidate that matches and excels in most of the criteria areas should be selected. The appointed individual may remain in the position until the end of the term or until such time as other candidates come forward.
