AGM Agenda

2) Approval of the Minutes of the 2013/2014 AGM
3) Approval of the financial statements for the year ending April 30, 2015
4) Approval of proposed changes to the By-laws, as per the following:
Article V, Section 3 – MAXIMUM TERM OF OFFICE
Proposal: Remove this section from the by-laws. Members elect board candidates each year, and there may be instances where it is appropriate for someone to serve longer than the terms outlined. A proper nomination and election process is already in place to ensure that those serving the board are appropriate for their respective roles.
Article VII, Section 8 – NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
Proposal: Remove reference to voting proxy form, because it is covered in article VIII, Section 5 where it fits in more properly with the election timeline.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT:
The proposed changes to the By-laws of the Canadian Public Relations Society (Manitoba) Inc. in the form delivered to the Membership at this Annual General Meeting be adopted and approved for all purposes, and will be effective on the date of such approval.
