Board Appointments
Our process for appointing board members:
- The past president organizes a standing nominating committee, chaired by the past president. The president is excluded from this committee to ensure there is no favoritism when appointing board members.
- Before the AGM, the nominating committee prepares the list of positions that require filling, and puts out a call for nominees
- we only do board appointments, not director appointments
- Nominations close prior to the AGM (nominations are not taken at the AGM)
- For positions that have more than one nominee, an election is held. Otherwise the nominees are acclaimed. A motion to appoint the nominee is made my members.
The AGM is held in the spring, usually in June. A typical agenda will include:
- call to order and welcome
- approval of general meeting minutes
- introduction of Board of Directors
- activities report
- preliminary budget
- Interim Financial Statements
- motion to dispense with the requirement to appoint an auditor
- recognition of outgoing officers
- election of officers
- adjournment
