Please join us for our Annual General Meeting Oct.21st, 6:45 PM – 8:00 PM.
The AGM is your opportunity to connect with the broader Green community in our riding, while setting the direction for our riding. As a voting member, you will be deciding on the future of the Green Party in Spadina - Fort York, including voting for our new Constitution and executive positions, all from the comfort of your home. Please note that we are accepting nominations for the six executive positions listed below in the agenda. If you would like to be part of the executive, please e-mail bruce.vandieten@proforma.com
The following executive roles are open, the first two being mandatory:
Chief Executive Officer (CEO): organizes regular meetings, builds the executive where needed, and oversees the operation of the EDA. Ensures there is a candidate.
Financial Agent: maintains the books, issues the tax receipts, and files the annual financial report
Membership Chair: maintains relationships with members; increases membership.
Fundraising Chair: organizes fundraising events; asks for financial contributions
Organizing Chair: prepares for upcoming elections, coordinates campaign team, etc
Communications Chair: builds relations with media and maintains EDA’s visibility; ensures EDA press releases are sent to appropriate people and that constituents hear about and see the GPC in their riding.
If you are interested in filling one of these roles, please let me know as soon as possible and ensure you have been a paid-up member for at least 30 days prior to the AGM. Please RSVP by emailing interest to bruce.vandieten@proforma.com.
Donations will also help us get ready for a snap election. Did you know political donations yield the most generous tax credits in Canada? If you donate $400, you get $300 back at the end of the fiscal year. Every little bit helps. Donations help grow our volunteer base and hit the ground running (even virtually).
Social media and/or design-savvy volunteers, phone canvassers to help with our upcoming campaigns.
Given the realities of COVID, we have to get creative in how we reach our constituents and anyone with ideas is welcome!
