The itinerary of the AGM will be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The board of directors is proposing to replace the current bylaws of WSFAB with the bylaws which have been sent out with this notice. The re-draft of the bylaws is intended to simplify the bylaws and remove any unnecessary, cumbersome, or confusing provisions. The new bylaws otherwise maintain the spirit and intent of the original bylaws. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new bylaws will be voted on as a whole and will not be able to be amended in the meeting or voted in in part. If you have any questions on the new bylaws please feel free to email James Bartlett at james@wsfab.org<\/a> anytime between now and the AGM. The bylaws need to be approved by 75% of the members in attendance, otherwise the resolution will fail and the current bylaws will remain in place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The proposed bylaws can be reviewed here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Two executive positions are open for election \u2013 the Secretary and the President. In accordance with our bylaws, only persons who have been a director for at least one year prior to the election may run for an executive position. Current directors who are seeking an executive position will be given 2 minutes to introduce themselves and give any remarks they feel appropriate. If there is only one person running for a position, the position will be acclaimed and there will be no election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Five director positions are open for election. Anyone who is interested in running for a director position is encouraged to email an expression of interest to communications@wsfab.org<\/a>. We will also accept nominations from the floor day of, as we have done in the past. Before the election each person seeking a director position will be given 2 minutes to introduce themselves and give any remarks they feel appropriate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If a current director is elected to an executive position and thereby vacates his or her non-executive director position, another open director position will become available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are unable to attend the AGM, but wish to appoint a proxyholder to vote in your stead you may do so by nominating the proxy holder through the completion of this online form. https:\/\/wsfab.org\/ProxyVoting\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Proxies must be received 48 hours before the meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\nElections<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
