WE RESOLVE:

1. THAT General Member Policy 1.1.4.1 Resolutions Policy and Procedure be adopted, as amended.
2. AND THAT General Member Policy 1.5.1 Finance and Audit Committee be adopted, as amended.

OUR REASONS FOR THIS RESOLUTION ARE:

1. Resolutions adopted by CHF Canada members become General Member Policies. The Board of Director reviews these policies on behalf of members on a regular schedule. .
2. Member policies 1.1.4.1 Resolutions Policy and Procedure and 1.5.1 Finance and Audit Committee were reviewed by the governance and resolutions committees of the board, and amendments were proposed to the Board of Directors for consideration. The board adopted the amended policies and is recommending them to the members for adoption.
3. The Resolutions Policy and Procedure was updated to improve readability, and to clarify the purpose and process behind resolutions at the Annual General Meeting.
4. The Finance and Audit Committee terms of reference were updated to better align with the governance reorganization in 2020 by updating the committee’s composition, to state the desired qualifications of committee members, to update the nomination process, and to update the function, duties and responsibilities to align with current practices.

WE THINK THAT THIS WILL COST:

These amendments do not have a budgetary impact.
