Nominations 2025
It’s election time!
As an official club of the SUO, each year we receive nominations and hold an election for our leadership team positions.
Here’s where you can make your official nominations. Please read through the details below before making your submissions.
You can submit your nominations online until Monday, Feb 10 (11:59 pm).
How do I make a nomination?
You can submit your nominations through the form on the right (desktop) or the bottom (mobile) of this page.
We ask that you are prayerful and discerning when making your nomination. Use this opportunity to encourage the potential you see in your fellow UCMers.
Here are the rules:
For elected roles, you may only nominate 1 person per position, as you’ll only be able to vote for one person per position at the election.
With that in mind, you may make as many nominations as you like.
You may nominate yourself for a role, but someone else must nominate you as well to be considered for that role.
Nominations close at 11:59 pm on Feb. 10th, 2025.
Who should we nominate?
We are looking for servant leaders.
A servant leader is someone who can lead others, but does so by willingly serving others. We desire that our leadership team is marked by their servant-like quality, not attracted to popularity, position or power.
Here are some rules for eligibility:
Current Doulos members who are not graduating are eligible for re-election.
For all VP positions, the basic requirements are: (1) They are a UBCO student during the term of their service (March 2025-March 2026) and (2) they are a Christian.
For candidates for President, the requirements are the same as the VP requirements, with the additional requirement that nominees for president must have at least one-year experience on the Doulos team (in any position).
Finally, you can also make suggestions for non-elected roles, like Core Group Leaders and Worship Leaders.
What does the leadership team do?
The primary purpose of the leadership team is to keep the vision and mission of UCM at the forefront of all that we do. They help students to get connected, to belong, to serve, and follow Jesus while at UBCO.
As an official UBCSUO Club, the leadership team acts as the elected executive team and represents the club to the Students' Union and the University.
What are the responsibilities and duties of each role?
A detailed explanation of the responsibilities and duties of each role can be found here: Doulos Team Roles and Responsibilities
See our Leadership Page here to see who is on our current team, and reach out to them to ask about their roles, whether they’re graduating, or eligible for re-election, etc.
What level of commitment is expected?
The leadership team meets weekly during the school term to plan and pray.
The Doulos team attends leadership planning retreats, once in March, and once in August.
It is expected that a leadership team member would fulfill their role and responsibilities for one school year beginning in March 2025 and ending in March 2026, with the opportunity to be re-elected.
How does the nomination process work?
When a member receives 2 or more nominations they will be informed and asked to pray about the nomination.
The nominee will have 1 week to discern and decide if they would like their name to stand. If a position lacks a candidate willing to stand for election, the current leadership team will discern additional candidates to be asked.
Our Election & Vision Night will be will be held on Thursday, February 27, where we will vote in the new student leadership team.
