Special Resolution • The proposed Constitution & By-laws are aligned with the changes (affective Nov 26 th , 2016) to the BC Societies Act. ▫ 2-year transition to comply with the new legislation. ▫ Structural change to what can be included in the Constitution under the new BC Societies Act. ▫ More detail around member in good standing section. ▫ Composition of the board members.

Special Resolution ▫ Member-funded or public-funded - Most sport organizations will want to be member-funded. ▫ A Special Resolution is now 2/3rds majority rather than 3/4ths majority. ▫ New terminology – Special Meetings are now General Meetings. ▫ The new Societies Act gives additional protections to an employee designated as a “Senior Manager”.

Special Resolution ▫ Members may make a “member proposal” to amend the By-laws. ▫ Record keeping requirements are more extensive. ▫ Everyone has broader access to records (e.g., member contact information). ▫ Remuneration of employees making over $75,000 must be disclosed (but only for public-funded societies).

Special Resolution ▫ Motion: “To adopt the constitution & by-laws as presented.”
