Invitation to Submit Resolutions
|
|
Ontario Nature member groups are invited to submit resolutions for consideration at the 2008 Annual General Meeting.
The consideration and adoption of resolutions at an AGM allow issues of importance to clubs to be addressed at the provincial level, gives issues the weight of the full organization, and can be helpful in public communications and submissions to decision-makers.
In order to be considered at the AGM, resolutions must conform to the following specifications:
- be consistent with the Ontario Nature mission (as described on the "About Ontario Nature" page on our web site: www.ontarionature.org/home/aboutFON.html);
- be no more than one page in length and in a format that gives brief background in sentences beginning with "Whereas . . ." and that provides the substance of the resolution, which should consist of a direction to government or an agency on a particular policy initiative or issue, in a sentence beginning with "Now therefore Ontario Nature calls upon [the appropriate Minister or agency] to . . ." (to see a sample resolution, visit www.ontarionature.org/resolution.html);
- be proposed and seconded by two Ontario Nature members, one of whom is present at the AGM to speak to the resolution; and
- be submitted in writing to the Ontario Nature office, by post to 366 Adelaide Street West, Suite 201, Toronto, ON M5V 1R9 or email to clarem@ontarionature.org.
The Ontario Nature Board (or its designate) has the final decision regarding whether or not a resolution is submitted to the membership for consideration at the AGM. Resolutions will not be accepted from the floor. At the discretion of the Chair, any resolution may be put to a vote or withdrawn at any time during the debate.
