Annual General Meeting

AGM

AGM

 

We’re excited to invite you to NASCO’s 2023 Annual General Meeting (AGM) on November 12, 2023, from 9:15 am - 12:45 pm Eastern! This is a hybrid event held both online and in-person in Ann Arbor, MI at the Michigan Union in Room: Kuenzel (coinciding with our in-person NASCO Institute from November 10 - 12).

All Members of NASCO are able to participate and vote in the AGM. This is a space for members to make changes to the NASCO bylaws, to elect the Active Member Representative to the NASCO Board, to hear from Diversity Congress, and to get updates on NASCO’s activities from staff. The AGM is open to all to view, but only AGM representatives can vote. The meeting packet is available here.

There are three types of NASCO Members:

  1. Active Members - These are co-ops. So, for example, ICC-Ann Arbor is an Active Member. Active Members get as many votes as they have members.

  2. Associate Members - These are non-co-op organizations. So, for example, the Co-operative Housing Federation of Canada is an Associate Member. Associate Members get one vote.

  3. Individual Members - These are individual humans. So, anyone who signs up and pays individual member dues is an individual member. Individual Members get one vote.

Each Member (of any type) can send 1 voting representative to the AGM. So, if you are an organization, you will have to choose your AGM representative if you haven’t already.

How to register for the AGM

Use our Institute registration form to register an AGM representative who will attend in person. This option is only available to Active Members. In-person AGM representatives receive a $50 discount on the cost of Institute registration.

Use this form to register an AGM representative who will attend virtually. This option is available to Active, Associate, and Individual members. There is no cost to attend virtually.

To attend the Annual General Meeting virtually in a non-voting capacity, registration is not required. All NASCO Members will receive the Zoom link via email; reach out to info@nasco.coop if you need it resent!
