A. Annual General Meeting
The Annual General Meeting will be in Squamish on Sunday November 7th at 5:00 P.M. Details:
Location - Howe Sound Inn & Brewing Company (a.k.a. Brew Pub), Garibaldi Room.Refreshments - Tea, coffee and juice will be provided. Food and other refreshments can be purchased.
Draw prizes - From Mountain Equipment Co-op, Arc'Teryx, the Edge Indoor Climbing Centre, Gordie Smaill, Gregory Packs, the Access Fund, and others. You must be a current member to be eligible for draw prizes, but you can renew your membership, or join, at the door.
Entertainment - Randy Morris, from Simon Fraser University, will present preliminary results from the socioeconomic study of climbing in the Squamish area. We'll also have another climber/speaker, to be announced.
Who can attend - All Access Society members and supporters, and all those interested in the Access Society's mission and work, are welcome to attend. (Members only can vote.)
Agenda - Minutes, area reports, directors' report, financial statements, elections, general discussion and planning.
Copies of the 2003-04 financial statements, minutes from the last AGM, and agendas, will be available at the door. 4-5 of the current directors plan to be present. The meeting will likely last about two hours - you should be able to go hiking or climbing for the day, get to the meeting on time, and still get home at a reasonable hour, regardless where you live. The AGM rotates between Penticton, Squamish, and Vancouver, and next year's will be in Vancouver.
B. Directors Needed
The Access Society needs some enthusiastic and knowledgeable new directors. We have between seven and eleven directors, from around B.C. No more than two from any region, or three from the lower mainland - geographic/gender/age/climbing interest balance is important. Our current directors:
Term ending 2004: Dan Mack (Nelson), Anders Ourom (Vancouver), Brock Wilson (Vancouver).
Term ending 2005: Allen Agopsowicz (Victoria), Colin Dionne (Powell River), Lisa Rae (Sechelt), Sheilagh Seaton (Summerland), Greg Sorensen (Nanaimo), Graeme Taylor (Squamish).
Jesse Brown (Squamish) and Audrey Perry (Kaleden) stepped down during the year, and we thank them for all their efforts. Graeme Taylor will be stepping down at the AGM, and possibly other directors also.
We need several willing new directors, particularly one or two from the Sea-to-Sky region. Desirable attributes are:
Access Society member, or willing to join.
Energetic, responsible, informed.
Committed to promoting the Access Society and its work, getting climbers in your area organized as needed, and taking the initiative with regard to access issues and organization.
Willingness to take on some administrative responsibilities.
Able to participate in occasional phone meetings, twice-yearly in-person meetings, and regular phone calls and e-mail.
If you're interested, or have any suggestions, contact directors@access-society.ca.
