LOSURS

Annual General Meeting (2006)

Quick Links: Board Nominees, Financial Statements, Agenda

As a non-for-profit corporation, LOSURS is required to hold an Annual General Meeting (AGM). Among other business, the AGM includes elections for half of the Board of Directors, and the presenting of the corporation's financial statements for the preceding fiscal year.

Our next AGM is scheduled for Sunday, October 29th, 2006 at 2:00pm in the board room at Brown Communications 2275 Albert St (The building with the light switch and other neat ads -- see map).

Elections for the Board of Directors

LOSURS directors are elected for two-year terms, and the terms are staggered so that half of the board is up for re-election each year. This year, the following three directors' terms are expiring: Bernie Cohen, Doug Machan and Mike Warnecke.

We have three candidates running therefore this year all candidates are in the board by acclamation: Alex Marz, Jim Mackenzie and Mike Warnecke. More information on the candidates and their goals can be found on the Nominee List.

Financial Statements

The LOSURS Secretary, Mark Humphreys, has prepared the usual set of financial statements for the fiscal year ending September 30th, 2005. In addition to the copy available online, printed copies will be distributed at the AGM.

In keeping with the decision made at the last AGM, this year our financial statements have also been audited by an external auditor, Devon Hack. Devon also kindly audited our previous fiscal year's financial statements, to ensure that everything is in order (again, as decided at the 2004 AGM).
