      Four months after it registered gains in the 2014 Vancouver civic election, the Non-Partisan Association has picked a new president.

      Former NPA councillor B.C. Lee is replacing Rocky Mountaineer founder Peter Armstrong, who will remain on the board of directors as past president.

      Erin Chutter will serve as NPA vice president, Tanveer Siddiqui as secretary, and Jason King as treasurer.

      The party's most recent mayoral candidate, former journalist Kirk LaPointe, has joined its board, along with several other unsuccessful candidates.

      "At the NPA’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) on February 26, 2015, Gregory Baker, Johnny Cheung, Erin Chutter, Carling Dick, Jay Jagpal, Jason King, Kirk LaPointe, BC Lee, Ken Low, Rob McDowell, Suzanne Scott and Tanveer Siddiqui were elected as NPA directors. Laura Campbell was also elected as U40 Chair and Paul Tolnai as U40 Vice Chair," reads a statement from the party.

      Susan Gagnon and Rob Boyko will also remain on the board.
