As a member of the organization, you have a significant power: that of determining the objectives, orientations, policies and by-laws of the company by voting at its Annual General Meeting (AGM).
The Annual General Meeting is the supreme authority of the company, and an important democratic event in the life of every organization. The AGM gives you the opportunity to learn more about the organization's achievements and direction, and to take part in its decisions.
La Boussole's 27th Annual General Meeting will be held on Wednesday, June 28, 2023 at 5pm in Vancouver at 312 Main, center for economic and social innovation, and online via the Zoom platform.
Why attend the Annual General Meeting?
1. Elect members of the Board of Directors
At the AGM, members are invited to vote to elect the members of the Board of Directors (BOD). This vote is important, as these people will then represent you in the organization's decisions and ensure that La Boussole always works in your best interests and those of other members.
2. Influence the organization's direction
Your participation at the AGM has an impact! We take stock of the previous year by presenting La Boussole's financial results and activity reports, as well as outlining the year ahead, including projects supported by grants, donations and community partners. There's also time for you to voice your opinion and raise awareness among other members on issues close to your heart.
3. Board experience
If you'd like to get more involved, you can apply to join the Board of Directors when the time comes. This involvement will enable you to determine the company's objectives, orientations, policies and by-laws, as well as to acquire skills that will benefit you personally and professionally.
What is the role of the Board of Directors?
The Board of Directors is the legal authority of La Boussole. It is responsible for the smooth running of the company between members' meetings. It must ensure that decisions taken at the general meeting are carried out. It administers the company's assets. The Board of Directors must obtain the approval of the members, at a General Meeting, for any decision that commits the company's funds for a period exceeding its term of office. It may also invite employees and/or members to attend Board meetings as observers. The Board of Directors has signing authority for all official and financial documents of La Boussole.
