Minutes of the 2023 Annual General Meeting
November 23, 2023
The 2023 GHCF AGM was again conducted by electronic mail. The following describes how the meeting was conducted.
1. An introductory email was sent to members to describe the process and to provide links to the GHCF website, links to the various committee reports and to instructions on how to nominate additional directors, ask questions, and how to vote. A link to a copy of the email is below.
2. Copies of the email instructions were sent electronically to those members that provided GHCF with their email addresses. Other members could access the files using Library or other computers.
3. If a member had a question, it was to be submitted to GHCF by November 14. GHCF agreed to distribute the answers to questions of general interest to the members. There were no questions.
4. Members were asked to vote on two questions:
a. To approve the slate of nominated directors, and
b. To adopt the minutes of the 2022 AGM.
5. Thirty-two members voted, all in favour of the nominated directors and all but three in favour of adopting the 2022 minutes. Those three abstained because they did not participate in the 2022 AGM.
6. As a result, the following were elected as directors, each for a three-year term to 2025:
a. Dyan Dunsmoor-Farley
b. Luisa Lazzarotto
c. Jeffrey Malmgren
d. Christina Rajsic
7. In addition, those directors continuing in their terms are:
To 2024 - Diane Cornish
To 2025:
a. Don Elkington
b. Carol Fergusson
c. Harvey Graham
d. Marc Herrmann
8. The AGM adjourned at 4:00 PM, November 23, 2023.
A copy of the email to the members follows:
Members, welcome to the GHCF 2023 AGM!
Our AGM is again being held remotely this year using email and the GHCF Web site. With over 600 members, we feel that having the meeting by email will be a better way of reaching as many of you as possible. We hope you agree. We will be most interested in receiving your comments on how well the process worked, and any suggestions you may have for future AGMs. Please email your comments, or any questions you might have, using the "Ask a question" button below.
You may review the slides for the entire AGM by clicking on the "All 2023 Sides" button below, or you may review any of the individual presentations. For those that wish to print the slides, the Printer friendly version reduces the number of pages substantially,
Deadlines: for questions, November 14, for member director nominations, November 21, and for voting, November 23, all at 4:00 PM.
By clicking the "Vote here" button here, or at the bottom of this page, you will be presented with a ballot whereon you may vote on whether to adopt the 2022 AGM minutes and on the election of the members nominated to be directors. Please do that.
If two or more members share the same email address and so received just one AGM announcement (because of mailer restrictions) all members may still vote separately.
