Each year CFUW members can propose bylaw amendments or other motions for consideration at the AGM or policy sessions. This year, proposals must be received by CFUW by March 30th in order to be considered at the AGM, July 7-9, 2023.
What are member proposals?
Motions of any kind. We usually think of motions discussed at a general meeting as being limited to Resolutions (in CFUW this means motions to establish advocacy policy) and Bylaw amendments. But Members (CFUW Clubs) can submit motions on a variety of topics. As long as they propose action that is within the purposes of CFUW or that addresses how CFUW conducts business (bylaw amendments, amendments to procedure, resolutions, dues motions, nominations*) member proposals can be considered at the AGM or a policy session.
