Special Resolution BACKGROUND • Bylaw changes adopted at the 2008 Spring General Meeting changed the nomination period for Executive Board positions to “no earlier than 90 days prior to the date set for the Annual General Meeting and no later than 21 calendar days prior to that date”.  This resolution ensures that notice of the Annual General Meeting provides ample time for the nomination process.

  44. Motion: • That Article V Section 1 of the Bylaws be amended by adding the sentence: “The place and time of the Annual General Meeting shall be announced each year at the Spring General Meeting”

  45. Amended Article V Section 1: The Executive Board shall call two General Meetings each year, an Annual General Meeting to be held during the month of October and a General Meeting to be held in the month of April.  These meetings shall be held at places and times determined by the Executive Board. The place and time of the Annual General Meeting shall be announced each year at the Spring General Meeting.

  46. Election Results • Michael Shepard will now announce the results of the election for the Executive Board
