The ATIO Board of Directors passed two resolutions as follows:
- The proxy registration form will be sent several times between February 28, 2023, and April 26, 2023. All certified members have a right to vote either with a general proxy, or a specific proxy. If you cannot attend the AGM, please click the button for proxy registration. Members should contact their proxy holder directly both to confirm their attendance at the AGM, and to submit comments on AGM materials which will be voted upon.
- The deadline for submission of a proxy is three days prior to the annual general meeting. The deadline is set at 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday, April 26, 2023. This allows the service provider, the board, and the staff to properly prepare for the AGM on Saturday.
A proxy’s vote will not be counted if their proxy holder does not attend the AGM.
Certified members may revoke their proxy if they choose to participate in the meeting.
As always, using a computerized system has its benefits and its challenges; ATIO is adapting to the virtual world for you to have the best experience that we are able to provide.
