Representatives at the Annual General Meeting (AGM)

We'd love to hear your voice and ideas at the AGM!

We rely on ATI members to make ATI work for the community. Your thoughts and ideas, your vision and energy, are critical for all of us. However, we understand that not everyone can attend every session, or in some cases, any sessions of the AGM. If schedule conflicts prevent you from attending any or all sessions, you can still make your voice heard through a representative.

 

What is a representative?

A representative is someone you designate to speak on your behalf at an AGM. Your representative must be an ATI member who will attend the meetings that you are unable to attend.

 

How does that work?

You can decide who you would like to serve as your representative. 

  • If you know someone attending the AGM whom you’d like to represent you, you can contact them directly.

  • If you don't know someone you can ask, we will be sharing a list at a later date of people who’ve volunteered to be representatives.

You can review the proposals that will be presented at the AGM here. You'll then contact your representative, and let them know if you have any questions, concerns, or possible resolutions to concerns that you would like them to present on your behalf. Your representative will bring these up during the meeting. You can also indicate whether you consent to a proposal or if you are willing to stand aside. As the meetings progress, you can follow along in Basecamp so that you can stay updated about the discussion, and you can contact your representative if you have further instructions for how you would like them to act on your behalf.

 

If I will have a representative and not attend live, should I still register for the AGM?

Yes! Please do register for the AGM, so you can be added to the AGM Basecamp group and have access to the meeting recordings, meeting notes, and message threads with further information (including the list of available representatives). You can also ask questions there.

 

Is there a deadline for designating a representative?

Please find a representative at least two days before the meeting where you'd like a representative. If unforeseen circumstances come up at the last minute, contact Rachel Prabhakar.

 

What if I can attend some sessions of the AGM but not others? Can I still have a representative?

Yes.
