As you may know, our AGM had to be postponed in 2020 because our 2015 Chapter By-laws required we host an AGM in person. While that was never practical for our members in locations outside the major centres, not being able to host an in-person meeting because of provincial restrictions on gatherings meant we also missed out on a fulfilling some obligations the By-laws require, such as providing a year-end financial report and hosting Board elections.
The Board hosted a Special General Meeting on January 27 to vote on four motions (outlined below), one of them to approve a revised set of By-laws that would allow the Chapter to host AGMs online. All four motions were passed by the 23 Chapter members in attendance.
Read the approved By-laws here.
