PROPOSED RESOLUTIONS FOR AMENDMENT

 

 

Dear ICF Member

The Board has determined the necessity to call a Special Meeting of ICF in order to address some issues of governance in the form of an amendment to the organization’s By-Laws. The date for this meeting is:

February 21, 2021

at 2:45 - Coronado Hotel G room - Disneyworld Resort  - Orlando Florida USA

Because ICF is incorporated in the province of Ontario, Canada, it is now required to comply with new laws in relation to not-for-profit groups such as ours. A revised set of By-Laws have been drafted in consultation with legal advice and reflect the requirements of the act that is coming into effect in this country.
The Board has reviewed the letter and intent of the changes and has supported these changes unanimously at its October 2016 meeting. It is now the responsibility of the members to consider the question at the Special Meeting.
Essentially, the new By-Laws place the legal responsibility for the actions of ICF into the hands of those members who are elected by the membership (President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, Past President). It is important to record here that the Board is confident that while the changes place legal responsibility into fewer hands, the current process of consultation with the entire governance group of members (elected and appointed) and other advisory groups will always be ICF’s approach to leadership.

 

Please participate in the Special Meeting:
