As a not-for-profit, NCF’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) offers members the chance to review our audited financial statements and reports about the past year’s activities, while also electing the Board of Directors and addressing any other motions.
NCF’s AGM been held online since 1993 to allow as many of NCF’s thousands of members as possible to participate. This year, to be more aligned with best practices in the sector, we are making a few changes.
We will still hold elections for the Board of Directors online from Wed. June 19 at 6pm to Wed. June 26 at 6pm.
We are also holding a virtual AGM over Zoom next Wednesday, June 26 from 5:30pm to 6:30pm, followed by a post-AGM discussion about NCF’s future.
As a member-directed organization, elections for the Board of Directors are crucial as they oversee all NCF operations as a social enterprise, balancing our business objectives with our mission to ensure that everyone has access to affordable, high-quality internet they can understand how to use, while feeling safe online.
All registered NCF members may nominate eligible individuals to stand for election to NCF’s Board of Directors.
On-line voting will take place during the voting period.
