Hi All,

 

I will not be able to make it, as I have job. If all the council meetings will be held before 5pm then I will not be able to attend any. This is the reason I couldn't attend last meeting too. Is it possible to conduct next council meetings after 5pm? 

 

Regards

Sindhura.

Hello Councillors--

 

The next Council meeting will take place on Thursday, Dec. 18, from 2:00pm-5:00pm.

 

Reminders: If you are unable to attend this Council meeting, you must send regrets to Aurup at <coordinator at gsaconcordia.ca <mailto:coordinator at gsaconcordia.ca> >.

 

And if you are considering stepping down from council, this requires a "written notice of resignation" (see Article XVI – Resignations). If you do not resign before the meeting, this could cause the council to not make quorum. Otherwise, any Councillor who has two or more unaccounted absences can be dismissed by Council. Any such motion needs to be circulated in advance with the agenda.

 

Let me know if you have any questions or need help writing motions! See action items list below.

 

Thanks!
