Call to order: 12:30 pm PDT
The Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Law Society will be held on Tuesday, September 24, 2024. Call to order at 12:30 pm (PDT).
Virtual Meeting
Pursuant to Rule 1-9.1, the Executive Committee has directed that the 2024 AGM will be held as an entirely virtual meeting. Advance voting on the resolutions to be considered at the 2024 AGM will be available, so that members need not attend the 2024 AGM to have their vote counted.
Further instructions regarding participating in the virtual 2024 AGM, including instructions on how to vote in advance of the meeting and at the meeting, will be provided in the second meeting notice.
Business
The business of the 2024 AGM will include the following:
- Confirmation of Second Vice-President for 2025;
- Appointment of Law Society auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024; and
- Consideration of any Bencher or member resolutions.
Member Resolutions
To be considered at the 2024 AGM, any member resolutions must be submitted electronically, signed by two members in good standing (“the movers”) and be received by the Executive Director via email to AGM@lsbc.org no later than 4:30 pm on Tuesday, August 20, 2024 (Rule 1-8(6)).
Member resolutions will be posted within the Law Society Member Portal promptly upon receipt, and members will be notified. The movers of a resolution may provide a brief statement in support of the resolution, to be posted within the Member Portal. All members will be able to comment within the Member Portal on the posted resolutions. The ability to provide comments is intended to provide an opportunity for debate on any resolutions, and to assist the movers of a resolution in determining if they wish to withdraw or make changes to the resolution. Comments will not be anonymous, will be visible to all members within the Member Portal, and will be moderated by the Law Society to ensure compliance with the Member Portal’s terms of use.
The last day for the movers of a resolution to withdraw or make changes to a resolution will be Tuesday, September 3, 2024. Following receipt of any notice of withdrawal or change to a resolution, the resolution wording will be finalized and communicated to all members in the second meeting notice and members will have the opportunity to vote in advance on the resolutions prior to the 2024 AGM.
If you have any questions regarding the submission of resolutions, their consideration at the 2024 AGM, or the virtual meeting, contact Avalon Bourne, Manager, Governance & Board Relations, by telephone at 604.443.5706 (toll-free at 1.800.903.5300) or by email: AGM@lsbc.org.
