[BNS_members] Reminder: Annual General Meeting Tonight

[Caroline Beddoe]

Good snowy morning,

A reminder that tonight is our Annual General Meeting! We will commence 
with our AGM proceedings followed by a presentation by BNS president 
Soren Bondrup-Nielsen.

Please join us tonight, Monday November 21st in-person in Wolfville at 
the Wolfville Curling Club (22 Elm Ave, Wolfville) or online on Zoom 
(registration for online here [1]). A social will commence at 7:00 pm, 
you can expect cookies! And meeting proceedings will start at 7:30 pm.

The AGM business will consist of a report of the year, financial 
updates, nominations and elections of new Board members, by-law 
amendments and more. We are excited to reflect on the past year and get 
ready for the next. We hope to circulate a survey after the AGM to 
solicit ideas on programming and volunteer engagement.

Please find the followed attached documents:

  	* Draft Agenda for the 2022 AGM
  	* Minutes from the 2021 AGM
  	* Financial Reports 2021-2022 (1- Balance Sheet; 2-Income and Expenses 
Report)
  	* Letter from the Auditor
  	* By-laws which have been slightly amended (with tracked changes) 
since their last revision in 2010 (mainly to remove gendered language, 
account for online meetings and clarify a few procedures)
  	* Wonderful nominees for the Board (updated!) & their bios
  	* Details about the AGM and Soren's talk

Following the AGM, president Soren Bondrup-Nielsen will give a talk on 
his experience teaching biology while sailing the world on a tall ship, 
Sølandet. There will be photos & stories!

Any questions, please reach out!

Warmly,

Caroline
