This year we are very excited that we have 9 strong candidates to choose from who will represent you on the ECCAO Board for 2022-2023. If you have not checked their bios yet, please visit the nominees ( https://eccao.com/news/meet-the-nominees-for-the-eccao-board-of-directors-for-2022-2023/ ) page on our website and read their bios.\nWhat is needed to attend the AGM and be able to vote online?\nYou can attend the meeting from any device (phone, tablet or computer). Sign up is not required, but all you need is to click on this Zoom link ( https://us06web.zoom.us/j/87156689203?pwd=cFQwT3RCYjRtTVh2WXE4YXUwSk1vZz09 ) on Saturday, Feb 5th at 4pm. You can also access the meeting from your browser by going into Zoom ( https://zoom.us/ ) website, click on Join a Meeting and enter Meeting ID: 871 5668 9203 and Passcode: 275562\nWho can attend?\nAll members in good standing who paid their membership in 2020 or became a member in 2021 or 2022 are eligible to attend and cast their vote during the meeting. Please note that for family members, each member needs to log in from their own device in order to be allowed to vote during the election process, even if they are attending from the same location. In order for your vote to count, you’ll need a separate access to the meeting, attending the meeting together through one device means one vote only.\nHow will the voting be conducted?\nFor Agenda item 7 (BoD Election), the Chair of the Election Committee will call for the members to cast their votes through launching a poll with the list of nominees. Each member will vote for 7 out of the 9 nominees. The poll is confidentially carried and results are available to the Election Committee only. Upon reviewing the results and confirming successful candidates, the Chair of the Board will announce the next Board of Directors.\nFor Agenda item 8 (President Election), the Chair of the Election Committee will call for nominations, then another poll will be launched to elect the president following the process as explained above.\nWhat if I cannot attend, but I would like to vote?\nPoxies can be assigned. However, due to the online setting of the meeting, proxies will be directed to the Chair of the Election Committee and sent maximum by Saturday February 5th at 12:00pm to elect@eccao.com ( mailto:elect@eccao.com ). In the email, please list the 7 Directors you would like to vote for and the one you’re voting for as a President. The President must be from the 7 you are voting for.\nWhat if I don’t know whether I’m a member in a good standing or not, or if I would like to become a member?\nNo problem, please send an email to info@eccao.com ( mailto:info@eccao.com ) and we will verify your membership status and advise you in case you need to reinstate your membership.
