# Payments Canada welcomes nominations for 2020 Member Advisory Council membership



April 15, 2020

Payments Canada is now accepting nominations for 2020 membership appointments to the [Member Advisory Council](https://www.payments.ca/about-us/how-we-collaborate/member-advisory-council) (MAC). The deadline for nominations is May 15, 2020. The 2020 nominations will be effective July 1, 2020 and terms run for three years.

Membership to the MAC is one of the key channels through which we seek input from member financial institution participants (direct and indirect) in Canada’s payments systems. With the payments landscape continuing to evolve with the introduction of new technologies and payments market participants, involvement in MAC gives more Payments Canada member organizations a voice in influencing Canada’s [Modernization program](https://modernization.payments.ca/), ongoing operations and policies by providing advice through a collaborative process.

For 2020 nomination process details and how to apply, visit our [nominations page](https://www.payments.ca/about-us/how-we-collaborate/member-advisory-council/call-member-advisory-council-nominations).
