Welcoming a new Board Member, and "what we all did on our summer vacation"
We're back, and hope everyone had a wonderful summer!
Our usually-scheduled Members Meeting on Thursday, September 26, is going to be starting at 6:00pm - a little later than usual, due to a Special Members Meeting at 5:30pm (see below). We're still holding these meetings virtually, at https://meet.google.com/zqg-qbvz-tvt
(***PLEASE NOTE*** The 5:30pm start this month is for members only - guests will be held in the waiting room until that portion of the meeting is concluded)
Before this meeting starts, the Contributing (voting) Members will be meeting at 5:30pm to approve EBO's updated Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. All voting members should have received notification of that part of the meeting via email on September 16.
If you did not receive information about the Special Members Meeting, and believe you are a voting member, please contact us ASAP at admin@engagebarrie.org, to ensure you are able to cast your vote!
Once that Special Members Meeting is concluded, the "room" will open up to guests (roughly 6pm), for our usual bi-monthly update and check-in. All members (voting and non-voting) are welcome to attend the 5:30pm portion of the meeting, but non-members will not be admitted to the "room" until that portion is concluded.
Members can access the draft Agenda and updated details in the Forum at https://www.engagebarrie.org/forum/member-information/members-meeting-thursday-september-26-6pm-or-immediately-following-special-members-meeting (you must be logged in to view).
Meeting Highlights
We've got updates on the homelessness crisis, "Save the Southshore" campaign, public transit and active transportation issues. Oh, and we're also looking forward to introducing you to our newest Board Member! Unfortunately, Suzanna McCarthy had to cut her term as Director short, and we're going to miss having her on the Board (even though she'll still be contributing whenever she can). But we're excited to share who's agreed to complete her term with us. (No spoilers!! 😊 )
As the new season of Council begins, we're also looking forward to chatting with everyone about ways to get involved, and how the "EBO Collective" can help uplift everyone's voices and ideas for this city. Hope you can join us!
Get Engaged
If anyone else has info or updates to share, or support you'd like to request from our members, please ask to be added to the agenda – you're also welcome to spontaneously share, we just don't want to miss including you!
As always, friends of the organization who share our mission, mandate and values, and founding principles are welcome to join us, but in order to maintain a safe space for all, must identify themselves, remain on-camera, and follow our anti-harassment policy – anonymous lurking is not allowed.
