About SCOT

SCOT COUNCIL

The SCOT Council is the group of individuals who meet at least 4 times a year to manage the affairs of the College. The Council ensures the regulation of all Occupational Therapists in Saskatchewan. Council consists of at least 4 elected Occupational Therapists that are SCOT members and up to three public representatives who are appointed by the provincial government.

President Role Description:

The president shall exercise general control and supervision over the affairs of the council and the college. The president will preside over all meetings of the college and the council. The president is an ex-officio, non-voting member of all committees with the exception of the professional conduct committee and the discipline committee. The incumbent assumes the office of president at the first council meeting following the Annual General Meeting.

President-Elect Role Description:

The president-elect will assist the president in their role and preside over any meeting when the President is unable to do so. The president-elect will be assigned duties as needed and appropriate by SCOT Council. The president-elect will proceed to the position of president at the conclusion of their term as president-elect.

Secretary-Treasurer Role Description:

The Secretary-Treasurer carries out duties to ensure that the college's financial affairs are managed appropriately. The Secretary-Treasurer serves as chair of the finance committee.

Member at Large Role Description:

The Member-at-Large participates in board meetings, provides input on key decisions, and contributes expertise or guidance on matters relevant to SCOT's mission.

Public Representative Role Description:

The Public Representative's role is to safeguard the public interest by representing the public’s perspective. Public representatives are not Occupational Therapists and bring forward a public perspective on issues that come before the SCOT Council or its committees. One of the Public Representatives must be a member of the Discipline Committee. The Public Representative's role is not determined by SCOT Council but by The Occupational Therapists Act, 1997, relevant Bylaws, and the Provincial Government.
