South Cariboo Meat Co-op members and any interested individuals are invited to attend the 2011 annual general meeting in the Pioneer Room of the Creekside Seniors Activity Centre (501 Cedar Ave. in 100 Mile House at 7 p.m. on March 29.
The meeting will include an update on the abattoir project and the election of a new slate of directors. All of the current board members are serving a one-year term that will expire at the AGM, so nominations (self or otherwise) for the election of seven directors are being accepted.
A policy to elect three or four directors to a one-year term and three or four to a two-year term to ensure some future continuity on the board from one year to the next has been established.
Only paid-up members – or, in the case of an organization or business, its appointed voting representative are eligible for nomination to the board and to vote (if necessary) in the election of directors. Furthermore, memberships must be paid for at least 30 days prior to the AGM (therefore, before Feb. 28).
