BurnT AGM

Hello BurnT!

Each year, BurnT is required to have an Annual General Meeting. This year it will be held on Sunday April 17, 2016 from 2pm-5pm on the 3rd floor of the Ralph Thornton Centre (765 Queen St. East. Broadview and Queen)
You can find it HERE on Facebook.

This will be a relaxed afternoon of official business and an opportunity to hang out with your fellow burners, and to meet your new board members!

Official Business

Some of the official things that happen at the AGM are:

– The directors will report on the previous year

– The financial statements for last year and this year will be presented so you can see how community money has been spent and ask any questions you may have

– The Board might want to pass resolutions or change some of the by-laws that it has found don’t work that well in practice or could use fine tuning.

– The community might want to pass resolutions or change some of the by-laws

– The community will have an opportunity to vote on these changes at theAGM.

AGM Process
