Annual General Meetings
An AGM is held every year to elect the board of directors and inform their members of previous and future activities. Meetings are to be held within the first two months of the calendar year.
The Annual General Meeting is an opportunity for members and leaders of the game to come together to network and work collaboratively to shape the growth of the sport for everyone involved. All club members can attend and are encouraged to do so. It gives members a fair and democratic opportunity to stand for a committee position and affect the way that World Kickboxing Federation Canada Inc. is run.
The Board provides direction and oversight for World Kickboxing Federation Canada Inc., and is accountable for the overall performance of the Corporation. Every Director will act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Corporation.
Business conducted at the Annual General Meeting will include:
- presentation of the financial statement and financial position of the Corporation to its Members
- election, confirmation or appointment of Directors and Officers
Other business conducted at the Annual General Meeting may include: - presentation of resolutions that require approval of the Members
- information about the Corporation of interest to Members
If any business to be conducted at the Annual General Meeting includes amendments to policies, the notice must include details of the proposed resolution. Information about other business to be conducted should be provided with the notice or as soon as possible thereafter.
