Did you know that you can contribute to the AGM agenda for the Community Center? If you have something that should be discussed, consider submitting a member’s proposal. 5% of our membership is 17 members.
The AGM agenda will be coming out shortly ~ if you wish to submit, this will need to be done by next week.
MEMBERS HAVE THE RIGHT TO BRING A “MEMBER’S PROPOSAL”
Members of a society have always been able to requisition a member’s meeting for a specific purpose, provided that at least 10% of voting members sign the requisition. The new Act introduces a right for members to add specific issues to the agenda of an annual general meeting. A member proposal must be added to the agenda if the proposal is signed by at least 5% of the society’s voting members. The proposal must be received by the society at least seven days before notice of the AGM is sent.
A society’s board of directors has the discretion to reject the proposal if it is substantially similar to an issue that has already been voted on at a member’s meeting in the previous two years.
