WEOT AGM Resolutions Form

Members of WEOT can submit resolutions to our Annual General Meeting (May 31, 2018) using the form on this page. Resolutions must be submitted by Monday, May 21, 2018 in order to provide the membership with proper notice as per our local handbook articles 22 and 33.1. Resolutions generally seek to amend, delete, or add new language to our local handbook. Resolutions can also provide direction to the executive; these resolutions are called action directives. If a member needs help filling out this form or crafting a resolution, they can contact Leslie Boutet at 519-915-2229 or by email at weotpresident@gmail.com. Here are some sample resolutions:
