What Everyone Should Know About Voting at the 2019 MODS AGM

In no particular order...

It's on Thursday, September 26th at Torque Brewing.

Doors open at 7PM. Program starts at 7:30PM - intended to be an hour long, with the vote taking place at the tail end.

There are 4 vacancies among the 9 board seats. MODS' Gender Equity Policy warrants that we end up with a 5/4 gender split (adjust for non-binary as applicable). Returning are 3 men and 2 women, meaning this election must produce 1 male and 2 female board members (plus 1, of either gender).

There are 6 candidates for the 4 vacancies: 1 returning (Daniel) and 5 new. 2 of our candidates are women, meaning both are locked in per the point above this one (Welcome, Kari & Serena!).

The remaining 4 candidates will be vying for 2 vacancies.You can read all candidate bios below. 

Candidates who are at the 2019 AGM will have a chance to address those in attendance and who will be casting ballots. Voting takes place towards the end of the AGM, with each member in attendance getting a chance and ballot to vote.
