The OCA AGM is scheduled to begin this Sunday, May 24th.
Our EOCA is expected to have conducted our AGM by then.
However, our EOCA AGM has not yet been conducted, per:
1) Due to personal situations within families of key EOCA people, we're still unable to transition management of EOCA membership mailing lists to the new Secretary. Without such transition, we're uncomfortable "springing" an online AGM.
2) Due to the obvious COVID-19 situation, we cannot conduct a traditional in-person EOCA AGM, which many EOCA folk still seem to favour overwhelmingly. But this also dovetails into the first point above. We did not get done what we had to.
3) The Government of Ontario has announced a grace period for AGMs like ours. The announcement currently stipulates that organizations like ours, after appropriate re-opening(s) of social activities, will have 90 days to "catch up" on their AGM.
Therefore, the current EOCA Executive has unanimously agreed:
a) all current EOCA positions are being temporarily extended:
President: Aris Marghetis
Vice-President: David Gordon
Treasurer: Halldor Palsson (already Life Governor)
Secretary: Jeremy Sztuka
EOCA/OCA Regional VP: Aris Marghetis
Governors (in order, usually 3): Aris Marghetis, David Gordon, Jeremy Sztuka
b) traditional 2020 EOCA AGM within 90 days of Ontario provincial "re-opening"
Thank you, best regards, Aris Marghetis, EOCA President.
