Need to Utilize Proxies

The attached Proxy Form allows Members to specify how their proxies are to vote on specific resolutions.  The Proxy Form is designed to provide Members who, for whatever reason, cannot attend the AGM, with a method of participation in the meeting. Achieving quorum at the AGM is important.  The AGM is the only cost effective opportunity to deal with critical business each year.  Therefore it is crucial that absentee Members exercise their right to utilize proxies, to ensure that the AGM can be duly constituted and proceed without delay.

Until January 30, 2013:

(a) The member library who is not attending the 2013 AGM can select one member of the Federation Executive (representing different caucuses) or any other Federation Director or delegate attending the AGM to be their proxy holder.  Contact coordinates of Directors are listed on the back/second page of the Proxy Form.

(b) A Federation director or other delegate who is attending the AGM can approach another member library who is not attending the AGM to seek approval to be their proxy holder.

Questions
If Members have questions with any of the information provided in this Notice of 2013 Annual General Meeting, they should contact Federation Administrative Assistant at sbenes@fopl.ca or 416-395-5638.
