Notice
The 2022 Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Ottawa Naturists / Naturistes de l’Outaouais (ON/NO) will be held on Thursday October 20, 2022 from 7:00 PM to 9:30 PM.
The AGM will be conducted by videoconference and teleconference.
ON/NO members with full membership in good standing (those whose membership fees have been paid for the current membership year) may participate in the meeting and vote on any resolutions presented at the meeting. Provisional members in good standing may participate in the meeting but may not vote on any resolutions presented at the meeting.
Matters to be Dealt With at the AGM
The meeting will consider:
- minutes of the 2021 AGM
A link to the minutes of the 2021 Annual General Meeting has been emailed to members.
- reports on ON/NO status
- financial statements and reviewer’s comments for the 2021-2022 fiscal year
- year-to-date financial statements for the 2022-2023 fiscal year
- budget for the 2022-2023 fiscal year
- appointment of a reviewer for the 2022-2023 financial statements
- review of fees and expenditure limits
In light of rising costs, the Board will be seeking approval from Members for an increase in the Maximum Admission Fee that it can charge for swims. The admission fee for swims is set by the Board, based on pool costs and anticipated attendance, at an amount (not to exceed the Member-approved Maximum Admission Fee) intended to recuperate the cost of operating swims without generating a profit.
The Board is not proposing any changes to expenditure limits. Whereas the expenditure limits currently in effect were approved “until changed by a future vote”, and whereas the Board is proposing no change in the amounts, it will not be necessary to hold a vote on this matter at this year’s AGM.
- election of Directors
An election will be held for six positions on the Board of Directors. In addition to five positions that have reached the end of their two-year term, one Director has resigned mid-term. Members are encouraged to submit nominations (including self-nominations) for candidates for the election to be held at the AGM. Nominations may be submitted in advance to president@onno.ca or in person at the meeting.
- other business that may properly be brought before the meeting
