Notice of Meeting: The 2013 Annual General Meeting

January 4, 2013

CHRA keeps an open dialogue with members about their priorities year-round; but the Annual General Meeting (AGM) is your official opportunity to have your views on priority issues heard and voted on by members and put into action by CHRA.

The following provides important information on how to submit a resolution for consideration at the AGM:
 
Timing:

  • Resolutions must be submitted 45 days prior to the Annual General Meeting, which is March 18, 2013.  If a resolution is received after this date, it must be reviewed at the May 1 Resolutions Workshop.  Resolutions cannot be presented from floor during the AGM.

Content:

  • Resolutions must deal with actions or positions to be taken by CHRA itself, or with CHRA’s bylaws.
  • Resolutions must reflect the mandate of CHRA, be relevant to CHRA policy and be national in scope.

Process:

  • Resolutions may only be submitted by CHRA members, or CHRA’s Board of Directors
  • A representative from the organization bringing forward a resolution should attend the Annual General Meeting, and should be prepared to briefly present the resolution to the membership.
  • For those resolutions which create new policy areas, change existing policy or have significant cost implications, the resolutions committee will forward the resolution to the CHRA Board for its recommendation of support, non-support or amendment.
  • If a resolution is submitted after the March 18, 2013 deadline, it must be reviewed at the May 1, 2013 Resolutions Workshop in Ottawa, and be reviewed by the Resolutions Committee. A representative from the organization bringing forward the late resolution should attend the Resolutions Workshop.

Structure:

  • Resolutions should be written in a narrative format (as opposed to using ‘whereas’), and should include the rationale, cost implications and a clear articulation of a policy position or action for CHRA to take.
