GENERAL MEETING

Followed by a Networking Lunch and then a half day workshop with Peter J.
Frost Toxic Emotions in The Workplace

On Thursday June 24th at 11AM, at the Plaza 500 hotel at 12th and Cambie,
we will be having a General Meeting for our membership. Below
is the agenda for the meeting. If any of you have additional agenda items,
please send them along to me at sguest@shaw.ca.

The Annual General Meeting is postponed until a later date, however the BC
Organization Development Network will go ahead with a general meeting. There
will be an annual report (complete with a financial statement) and we also
want to elect, through the day, five of the six people who came forward through
the nomination process, to next year’s Steering Committee. Those people can
then go forward into an annual planning meeting in early July and be ready
for a bang up start to our new year in September. It will be part of their
planning to determine when to hold the formal AGM that will initiate our Society
Status.

The people who have been nominated to the Steering Committee are:
(Each nominee’s name can be clicked for a link to his or her CV in PDF format.)

1. John Baker, an independent consultant
   with Baker-Armstrong and a presenter at our most recent network meeting.
2. Deborah Gooding, an MSW and
   newly graduated student from the Malt program at Royal Rhodes University.
3. Chris Neep, independent consultant
   – ran the OD department at ICBC for many years
4. Sheila Bouman, from Navigo
   consulting – has delivered change management services in the Lower Mainland
   for many years.
5. David Weaver, is at SFU and
   has an extensive background in OD.
6. Deborah Lindsay, comes to
   OD with change management and HR background and has been active in the network
   for several years.

They have all agreed to make 2 minute presentations at the General Meeting
about why you should vote for them. Further information about the nominees
can be accessed via the above noted links. We’re hoping that many of you will
come and vote for your favorite candidate. Voting will start at the meeting
and continue through the afternoon’s workshop – we will declare the winners
at the end of the afternoon.

The Agenda For The Meeting

1. Review of the annual report – with brief reports from each of the sub-committees
2. Financial review for the last two years
3. Membership Survey results
4. Planning for 2004- 2005 (review of process for member input at the meeting
   today)
