4.     Directors’ Reports

·       Treasurer – Jim Carter reported that there is little change in the finances of the CBPOA over the year.  There is approximately $56, 000 in the bank, $34, 00 in cash and $20,000 in term deposits.  Income is from yearly membership fees; expenditures include office expenses and postage.  Jim stated that the CBPOA could support an endeavour such as to help install the AED/Save Stations on the beachfront.  Moved by Grant, seconded by David Grant, all in favour of accepting this report.

5.     Membership –This year, 2020, Bruce modified the sign-up process to see if changes would be popular.  20% of the members whose membership is due this year chose to renew by mail (or Bruce’ mailbox), leaving many members who will need to be reached in person with canvassers.  There are 270 memberships in, this leaves about 130 past members due for renewal this year and not yet signed up.  Email reminders will be sent out. Bruce has been Membership Chair for 10 years and we are grateful for his steady leadership. 

6.     Election of Officers – President and Membership Chair

Andrew presented the name of one member who has agreed to stand for President – Jim Carter– and asked if there were further nominations from the floor.  With no further nominations for President, Jim Carter was will become President by acclamation.  Jim has served as Treasurer for the last 3 years.  This leaves the position of Treasurer open, anyone interested in taking on this job for the CBPOA should reply by email or get in touch with any of the Directors.

From the floor, Henri Wendell volunteered to take over as Membership Chair.

As there is always a need for fresh participation in the CBPOA, there was discussion about drawing in members to become involved.   Bob Dhaliwal volunteered to become our newest Director-at-Large.

 

7.     Motion to adjourn. Moved by Rona/Seconded by Laura.  Meeting adjourned at 8:35
