Local Junior Representative Elections
Are you JB Victoria's next LJR?! We are currently seeking nominations for CISV Victoria's next Local Junior Representative (LJR). CISV Victoria has two LJRs (a junior and a senior) each year. LJRs are elected for a two-year term to run our Steering committee and represent our Victoria JB on the national level. Each year, the senior LJR mentors the junior LJR. When a new LJR is elected (each spring) the senior finishes their term and the junior becomes the new senior LJR.
To learn more about this role, check out the LJR Handbook, created by JB Canada, or this video created by two of our very own LJR alumni! Email our current LJRs, Astrid & Felix, with any questions or if you are interested in running to be our next LJR! Elections will be held at our April JB Meeting.
