Annual Meetings

Come and have your voice heard! Cast your vote at the AGM!

The Board of Directors for Therapeutic Recreation Ontario would like to invite all TRO members to join them for the Annual General Meeting, to learn about the various initiatives the board has been working on.

The TRO Annual General Meeting is an opportunity for members to receive updates, share your views, thoughts and opinions on the TRO initiatives that the Board of Directors are working on.
The TRO Board Elections will be taking place at the AGM, with a slate of nominees that will be presented to the membership for election. The board will be highlighting important messages about our future directions as well as introducing our new staff members.

AGM Agenda

Board Nominations

As per TRO Bylaw 4.2 (e):  “The Chair of the Nominating Committee shall inquire among Members of the Association, at least 30 days prior to an Annual General Meeting, or at least 15 days prior to a Special Meeting, if appropriate, as to the persons whom the members would propose be nominated for the offices of President Elect and Board Members.”

Nomination Procedure

The act of nominating TRO Board members is a right and a responsibility of all TRO members.  The Nominations Committee urges you to take part in this important process by identifying and approaching individuals for possible nomination. The attached straw ballot provides you with the opportunity to do so.

Each year prior to the AGM, the Nomination Committee shall solicit nominations of one or more candidates for each of the Board offices to be filled. In selecting the candidate, consideration will be given to professional qualifications including education and experience, service to TRO and the field of therapeutic recreation, endorsement of the leisure-based philosophy, geographical balance on the Board and other factors considered relevant by the Committee. Following nomination, each candidate shall confirm, in writing, his/her intent to serve if elected.
 

The Nominations Committee shall present to the membership a slate of candidates for the Board vacancies on Wednesday June 9th, 2010 at the TRO Annual General Meeting in Hamilton.

TRO Board positions to be elected this year:

• President Elect
• Four Board Directors at Large (5 candidates nominated for 4 positions.  There will be an election)
