E-Comm announced its 2025-2026 Board of Directors at their Annual General Meeting today, naming one new board member. The remaining members, who are designated by shareholders, were reconfirmed for another term by their nominating entities. A moment of appreciation was shared for departing board members: Steve Eely and Brian Godlonton.
During the Annual General Meeting, Board Chair Doug Campbell recognized the significant strides that have been made throughout the second full year of E-Comm’s Transformation Plan, including the organization’s strongest 9-1-1 and non-emergency service levels in the last eight years. More details are provided in the 2024 Annual Report and Financial Statements, posted today.
Campbell is stepping away from Board Chair, a position he has held since 2016. During Campbell’s tenure as Chair, he oversaw some of the most transformative developments in the organization’s 26-year history, from the new Wide-Area Radio Network and the South Island 9-1-1/Police Dispatch centre, to laying the foundation for Next Generation 9-1-1. Campbell was recognized for his passion for public safety and his unwavering commitment to the success and future of E-Comm.
Nancy Kotani was named as the incoming Board Chair, after serving on the Board since 2020. Kotani brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the role and E-Comm is proud to welcome her as Chair.
“At the heart of every emergency response are the call-takers, dispatchers, technologists and support staff who serve as the vital link between those in crisis and first responders,” says Campbell. “On behalf of the Board, we want to extend our deepest gratitude and appreciation to everyone at E-Comm. Thank you for your resilience, dedication, and tireless efforts to protect communities across British Columbia.”
The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the company’s strategic planning and direction, finances and operating results. Management is accountable to the Board of Directors for day-to-day operations and administration.
