Please join us on at 5pm on Saturday, November 29, 2014 at 18166 102 Ave (Santa Fe Plaza; Levitt), Edmonton, AB. A meeting agenda will be emailed to all members and posted on this website in the coming weeks.

Among other agenda items, we will be selecting the 2015 Board of Directors at the AGM. Interested members may self-nominate via email using their registered member email address between October 27 and November 16, 2014. Please include a brief bio that we can post on the page for our members to review prior to the election.

Potential board members must:

1. Be a 2014 general member in good standing.
2. Consent to having their name and address appear in public Government of Alberta documents (Corporate Registry Database) and on our website.
3. Attend 4-6 Board meetings during the calendar year, in addition to any scheduled general meetings or special meetings.
4. Actively participate in a minimum of one committee or extra duty.
5. Commit to and complete a minimum of 24 volunteer hours with ABS. Please note: This election is for general board members. Executive positions (Chair, Vice-Chair and Secretary/Treasurer) on the board are determined by the elected board members at a future board meeting.

All members, 18 years of age or older, in good standing as of November 16, 2014 will be eligible to put their name forward for a position on the board of directors. Members wishing to be elected to the Board of Directors must be present at the AGM.

A member is elected to the Board of Directors when they put their name forward for nomination and receive sufficient votes on the ballot from the general membership in an election vote held during the AGM . In the case of a tie, a secondary vote may be held until a minimum of 6 positions on the Board of Directors are filled.

Registered members who live in Edmonton and surrounding area must be present to vote at the AGM.

Registered members who do not live within 100 kms of Edmonton, as indicated in our member database, may record their vote on any agenda item via email using their registered member email address between November 23 – 29, 2014. Eligible in-absentia voters should indicate which agenda item they are voting on (use agenda item number), along with their choices, in the body of their message

We are currently working on a method for out of town members to dial into the meeting via internet based calling service. Details will be posted once testing is complete.

Special thanks to Leavitt Machinery General Partnership for use of their space for the AGM.
