Annual General Meeting 2022

AREA’s Annual General Meeting will take place online Thursday, January 27, 2022, from noon – 1:30 pm.

On or by January 20, AREA will send to all members the full agenda, the audited financials, and the annual report, along with details for how to participate remotely.

The AGM will include these items:

1. Board of Directors – Slate of Recommended Candidates

The AREA Board of Directors is pleased to announce the following slate of candidates to fill the four vacant positions on the Board of Directors:

• Colin Hartigan, Northern Representative
• Kristie Kruger, Director at Large
• Chris Hassall, Director at Large
• Iris Evans, Public Member

The bios of each candidate can be found here.

AREA opened the call for applications in September. A Nominating Committee with representation from all five regions reviewed all applications, shortlisted and interviewed candidates, and recommended a slate of candidates to the Board of Directors. AREA’s Board of Directors accepted and endorsed the Nominating Committee’s slate of candidates.

Should any voting member object to this recommendation, they may raise their objection with the 2022 Chair, David Brown, no later than Wednesday, January 12, 2022. If no objections are raised, the slate of candidates will be acclaimed at the AGM. AREA’s Annual General Meeting will take place on Thursday, January 27, 2022. More details on this year’s AGM will be forthcoming.
