Requested by Maureen Bryan,

OSA

Secretary.

OSA MEMBERS

AS THE AGENDA WILL BE POSTED IN MAY FOR THE OSA ANNUAL MEETING, WHICH WILL BE HELD JUNE 12 TH, 2018, AT ELORA, I HAVE ASKED THE COMMITTEE FOR THE CONSTITUTION AND BYLAWS TO REVISE AND UPDATE THIS POLICY.
IT IS NOW IN IT’S 7TH YEAR SINCE ANY UPDATES HAVE OCCURRED AND THIS SHOULD BE DONE AT LEAST EVERY 5 YEARS OR SOONER IF THERE IS ANY CHANGES TO BE MADE.

THE FOLLOWING CHANGES I WOULD LIKE TO PUT FORWARD AS I SEE THEM.

1. THE EXECUTIVE OFFICERS ARE ELECTED BY THE MEMBERS AND ARE IN CHARGE OF THE OSA. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE PUT INTO SECTION IV.

2. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ARE APPOINTED, AND THEY MANAGE THE BUSINESS THAT THE EXECUTIVE APPOINTS THEM TO BE IN CHARGE OF. I WOULD LIKE THIS TO BE PLACED IN SECTION V. ( THIS IS ONLY A CHANGE OF PLACES AS SEEN ON THE POLICY NOW).

3. SECTION VII AND SECTION VIII SHOULD BE TWO YEAR TERMS , NOT THREE.

4. SECTION IX- OUR FISCAL YEAR SHOULD BE APRIL 1-MARCH31ST THE FOLLOWING YEAR.

5. SECTION 11- SHOULD READ-DUES TO BE DUE APRIL 1ST OF EACH YEAR AND ARE GOOD TO MARCH OF THE FOLLOWING YEAR.

THIS IS MY PROPOSAL FOR THE COMMITTEE TO GO OVER AND THESE CHANGES WILL BE DISCUSSED AT THE OSA MEETING. MAUREEN BRYAN SECRETARY OF OSA.
