ARCC Annual General Meeting, Jan 20, 2011

Note: Here are the minutes and reports from previous ARCC AGMs: 2008  •  2009  •  2010 

 

Present: Tara, Lianne, Lorne, Joyce, Jane, Julie, Josie.

Meeting called to order at 4:05pm PT.

Directors Reports: Motion: Lianne moved to accept the Nov 2010 AGM directors’ reports as read and circulated, as there are no new updates. Josie seconded. Passed unanimously.

Financial Report: Lorne read the financial report for 2010 (12-month period). Motion: Lorne moved that: The financial report be accepted as read. Joyce seconded. Passed unanimously.

Quorum Motion – Joyce moved that: For all future ARCC AGMs, five members in good standing will represent a quorum for attendance purposes. (Discussion: For some reason, our bylaws do not currently require a quorum for our AGM, only a quorum of 10 for “special meetings.” It was thought advisable to have such a quorum requirement for AGMs since this is standard practice and normally required.) Lorne seconded. Passed unanimously.

Title Motion – Lorne moved that: Joyce Arthur’s job title be changed from Coordinator to Executive Director. Lianne seconded. Passed unanimously. (Discussion: the ED title gives more PR weight to ARCC and to Joyce; the title “Coordinator” was initially chosen instead of ED because we were not yet incorporated.)

Slogan Motion – Joyce moved that: The slogan “Your voice for choice” be added to our letterhead and used in the promotion of ARCC. (Discussion: It’s already our slogan but we don’t use it enough. Adding it will cost nothing. Lianne likes it – straightforward, accurate, good slogan for merchandise in case we ever sell any. Jane also in favour.)  Lianne seconded. Passed unanimously.

Adjourn Motion: Jane moved that: The meeting be adjourned. Lorne seconded. Passed unanimously.
