Special General Meeting

- Category: CASI BLOG

The CASI Board of Directors has called a Special General Meeting of Members for the purpose of updating the current association bylaws and articles of incorporation. It is the unanimous view of your Board of Directors that a bylaw update is important at this time, as our recent Strategic Plan has outlined one of the key initiatives of “ensuring modernized association governance, constitution & bylaws.”
Please review the information outline below for an overview of proposed changes and rationale.

This special meeting is being held to allow members to vote on approval of such proposed changes as mandated by and in accordance with the Canada Not-for-profit Corporations Act.
The finalization of our association’s bylaws and the timing thereof is of the essence since CASI is currently in the process of adjusting our Board election cycle to fall roughly in line with the Annual General Meeting. Approval of the bylaws will allow for proposed changes to the current Board structure to be in place prior to the approaching November AGM.
All members in good standing are being sent a Notice of this Special General Meeting of Members, accompanied by a proxy form. The proxy form allows any member in good standing to appoint the Chairman of the meeting or alternatively any other member of their choice, who will be present at the meeting, as their Proxy to vote at the meeting on their behalf. Each member should complete the proxy form by checking one of the three alternative ways they wish their appointed Proxy to vote on their behalf, as set out in the form; namely: “in favour of the proposed change(s)”; “against the proposed change(s)"; or “abstain”. Each member must sign and send the completed proxy form to CASI electronically prior to the meeting, regardless whether or not they intend to be present at the meeting.
The Board has mandated that the Special General Meeting of Members be held electronically, via ZOOM, so as to maximize the accessibility of the meeting.

Thank you in advance to all members for assisting our association with this matter.
Regards,
Melissa Penney
President of the Board of Directors
