WHEREAS the Covid pandemic has had a significant impact on the annual and mid-term conventions; and

WHEREAS a review of the convention clauses in the Governance Bylaw was prudent given recent events.

BE IT RESOLVED that Governance Bylaw 2016-01 be amended to delete the existing clauses with respect to the timing of the annual and mid-term conventions and add a clause that provides that “An annual and midterm convention shall be held each year, on the dates and at a place or through such means as determined by the Board.”
