Teachers' Annual General Meeting

Annual General Meeting - LIUNA Station, 360 James Street North, Hamilton - Thursday, April 22, 2010

All branches should have had sign-up sheets for the AGM in their workplaces for several weeks. If you have not signed up already, and wish to go, please ask your Branch President to add your name to the list or add it yourself. On the sign-up sheet, please indicate any dietary concerns.

We will need to submit numbers for meals to LIUNA Station within the next week or so. You are entitled to attend even if you have not signed up, but you will require a pay stub to confirm membership. If you have not signed up on time, you will not be entitled to a meal, but you will be able to attend and vote at the meeting.

If your Branch President has already submitted their list of names to the District Office, you can call 905-574-8285 to add yours - the sooner the better.

All people who have their names in on-time will receive a booklet containing all motions to be discussed, reports from Executive, minutes and agenda.

Motions for constitutional changes or amendments require a 2/3 vote if submitted at least 30 days before the AGM, 3/4 if 15 days, or 9/10 any period after that, up to and including motions drafted at the meeting itself.

Nominations for Executive positions will be considered on-time before 4pm, April 1st, 2010. There will be forms on tables for people wishing nominations from the floor of the meeting itself.

On-time candidates for Executive positions will be able to access Branch labels and envelopes at the District Office.
