It varies, actually. According to our Web site, terms range from one to ten years. I worked with a Member a few years ago who was appointed for one year, which is really stupid, if you ask me. Training members takes a great deal of time, and it takes them a while to grasp the process (some are still learning, three- four- years on)
I believe the new appointees were given three-year terms.
There hasn't been a large "batch" of appointments since 2009 or 2010. We've had one or two named here and there, but four at once....weeeee. Back in 2009 or thereabouts, we had seven people appointed all around the same time.
We've got (all retired - and not including the new bunch) WO Leduc, Capt Maher, Maj Giraldeau, LCol Desjardins and a band director (Champagne), but not sure if he was Band Captain or BSM (Band Sgt-Maj, for anyone not knowing the musical side of things, sorry if I'm insulting somes' intelligence!).
The Board runs a process twice a year, mid winter and mid summer. But it's been two years I think since the last process (they ran one this Feb and this Aug).
It may be partly coincidence, but also...well...it's political, what can I say?
