2012 Annual General Meeting

Nature Canada’s Annual General Meeting is the opportunity for Members to exercise their right to vote on the slate of those individuals being nominated to the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors governs Nature Canada by developing policy to direct the staff, who then designs, initiates and directs programs to fulfill Nature Canada’s mission in keeping with those policies.

The 2012 Nature Canada Annual General Meeting is being held Friday September 28th, 2012 in Ottawa, Ontario.

As a Member of Nature Canada, the Annual General Meeting is your opportunity to submit nominations for Nature Canada’s Board of Directors. Deadline for Board nominations is August 1, 2012

Nature Canada is currently looking for the following:

• Experienced scientists, naturalists or individuals who care about nature protection issues;
• Individuals with professional legal, accounting, communications or fundraising experience or skills;
• Individuals from British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and PEI

To nominate a candidate send a brief statement about your nominee’s relevant experience, including occupation, and enclose contact information along with the nominee’s written consent indicating his or her desire to become a Director, as well as the signature of at least five Nature Canada members.

Nature Canada Members are also encouraged to propose resolutions for consideration. Deadline for proposed resolutions is August 1, 2012.

AGM resolutions are crucial to Nature Canada conservation work. They reflect the issues and concerns that are important to our members and affiliates. They are an effective tool to help us lobby individuals, groups and agencies, and influence government decisions on conservation, protected areas and endangered species.

Nature Canada is also seeking nominations from members for the Pimlott Award, Nature Canada’s most prestigious award, which recognizes outstanding contributors to Canadian conservation, and the Affiliate Award, which recognizes the significant contributions in public awareness about conservation, protection or management of natural areas, or in environmental action organizations of nature Canada affiliated organizations.

Nominations for the Pimlott Award and/or the Affiliate Award must be submitted by August 1, 2012.

Please send all resolutions and nominations to Nature Canada, 75 Albert Street, Suite 300, Ottawa ON K1P 5E7 or by email to srobertson@naturecanada.ca.
