3 AGENDA KEY 1. Call to Order territory acknowledgement, confirmation of notice and quorum Suggested acknowledgement of Indigenous Nations territory: The chair s acknowledgement should be appropriate to the territory where the meeting is taking place. See for your location. An example for Vancouver: We gratefully acknowledge that we are gathered today on the unceded traditional territory of the Coast Salish peoples, including the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh nations. The chair confirms: a. Notice is proper: includes the date, time and address of meeting; reflects the general nature of the business to be conducted. b. Notice was delivered to each unit using the delivery method set out in your co-op s Rule c. Notice period is correct: Rule 14.8 sets out the notice period for your co-op AGM; it must be at least 14 days notice but check your Rules. d. Required quorum is present: Confirm eligibility to vote (membership model). Announce and enter quorum present in minutes. Rule sets out the required quorum for your co-op. 2. Introduction of guests/welcome new members Guests may include lawyer, auditor, management firm, other. The chair is not a guest because Rule permits the board to choose another person who need not be a member to be the chair. No motion is needed for the chair or guests invited by the board to be present at meeting. Rule allows the presence of the Auditor and others who are entitled or required under any provisions of the Act or these Rules. 3. Approval of non-members as observers Non-members may be admitted to the meeting on the invitation of the chair or with the consent of the members at the meeting. See Rule Explanation of meeting process, rules of order and meeting agreement The chair provides an overview of how the meeting business will progress. The chair reviews the meeting agreement and indicates what rules of order will be followed. See sample meeting agreement and rules of order. 2
4 5. Approval of agenda The chair asks for a motion to approve the agenda. Suggested changes must be the business of the meeting and major new business that requires support documentation and/or decision cannot be added. 6. Approval of minutes of [date(s)] Be sure to check what sets of minutes require approval. While minutes should be approved at the following meeting, sometimes co-ops do not do this. AGM minutes are approved at the next general meeting, not the next AGM. 7. Business arising The board should identify in advance of the meeting any business of the previous minutes that needs to be covered. Ideally it will be covered in the other agenda items of meeting. If there is no business arising, the chair announces that they have not been advised of any business arising from the minutes and if no one objects move on to the next item of business. 8. Auditor s Report and Audited Financial Statements The co-op board of directors approves the Auditor s report and audited financial statements in advance of the meeting. Members vote to receive, but do not approve, the Auditor s report and audited financial statements. 9. Appointment of Auditor Members and directors will need to speak freely. Wait for the Auditor to leave the meeting before starting this agenda item. The board will recommend appointment of the current auditor or appointment of a new auditor based on the board s research and recommendation. If for some extraordinary reason the board has not been able to come up with a recommendation, it may recommend that the co-op research a new auditor for member approval at a future general meeting see Rule Report from Board of Directors The report of Directors is an overview of the year s activities, challenges and outcomes. The report should reflect business completed as well as priorities and outstanding business that the new board may want to consider. The report should be positive and informative. The board should have approved the directors report. 3
5 This is not the president s report. A good board report will encourage members to serve as directors. 11. Election of Directors a. Overview of director responsibilities An educational component is recommended at general meetings, when appropriate. A brief overview of director responsibilities before the election is helpful for members. b. Review board size, composition, terms and vacancies c. Review director qualifications See Rule 17.5 The chair will need to confirm the day of meeting which members are not qualified to serve as directors pursuant to the Rules arrears is the most common reason for disqualification but not the only one. The information should be available to the chair only. d. Nominations Review nominations received in writing in advance of meeting Call for nominations from the floor - members may nominate themselves or others Every person must declare in writing or in person at the meeting that they are qualified to serve as a director and consent to serve if elected. See Rule 17.6 Use data projector/flipchart/white board to list the names of candidates who accept nominations. Make sure that the names of candidates who accepted nomination before the meeting are not weighted or showcased unfairly. e. Remarks from candidates Invite each candidate to speak for up to two minutes about how they will serve the co-op as director. No question and answer. f. Voting Explanation of voting procedures Refer to Rule 18 Election, appointment and removal of directors. Review what is needed on ballot and what would spoil ballot. Show that the ballot box is empty. Selection of scrutineers The chair asks for usually three volunteers not standing for election or related to candidates or who are directors to serve as scrutineers. Distribution of ballots Chair should have ballots. See sample ballot. Do not give ballots to 4
6 members in advance of the election. Before receiving a ballot members must show a voting card or identify themselves and have name checked off on member register/sign in sheet. With voting cards, the chair may walk around the room handing out ballots to members in their chairs. With a member register/sign in sheet, members line up for ballots. To speed up the process there can be multiple lines for multiple sign in sheets. The chair may allow other members to pick up ballots for members with mobility or other issues that make it difficult for them to receive a ballot. The chair must watch to ensure they are delivered. Casting of ballots Each member should handle their own ballot and place it in ballot box themselves. Counting of ballots/break This is a good time to have a break and serve refreshments. Remind members that a quorum must be present after the break in order to announce election results. Instead of a break, this can be the time for committee reports with another chairperson. The chair and scrutineers find a private space to count ballots. Empty ballot box and have scrutineers confirm it is empty. Count and note total number of ballots. The chair observes or assists scrutineers to read names and tally votes. Note the number of spoiled ballots and set aside. Tally votes for each candidate. See Rules 18.3 and Document total ballots, number of blank or spoiled ballots and the ballots received for each candidate and percentage of ballots cast. The scrutineer record is signed by the chair and scrutineers. g. Announcement of results The chair calls the meeting back to order. Quorum must be present. The chair announces the names of the successful candidates. The chair may report on term length if indicated in Rule Scrutineers may be asked to verbally confirm results. h. Motion to dispose of ballots The chair asks for motion to dispose of ballots. 12. Acknowledgements Recognize and thank members for their contribution to the co-op. 5
7 13. Close of meeting The chair may close the meeting without a motion when all the business is done, there is no quorum, or it has become impossible to conduct business. This is not an adjournment of the meeting. Adjourning a meeting means moving it to a future time, date and place where the only business conducted is the business left unfinished at the meeting from which the adjournment took place. Rule
