About The Event

AGENDA

The modality of the assembly is hybrid: the physical location is in Leacock 219, and the assembly will be streamed over Zoom.

We strongly encourage everyone to attend in person if possible. In-person attendance helps to build a greater sense of solidarity through direct interactions and meaningful conversations before, during, and after the meeting.

Please only join by Zoom if you are on Macdonald campus or out of town, have health-related concerns, caregiving responsibilities, or experience other challenges. Thank you for helping us build a strong union. And don't forget - dinner is on us!

The General Assembly is the highest decision-making body of our Union. All AGSEM members are welcome to attend! You are a union member if you have either worked as a TA or an Invigilator within the last 12 months.

Registration to the assembly is necessary to be able to vote, whether you attend in person or online.  If a secret ballot needs to happen, the ballot will be sent to your email to everyone who is present in the meeting at the time of the vote, in accordance with labour law.

Dinner will be served. Please indicate whether you plan to attend in person or online, and whether you have any dietary restrictions.

If you have not already, please make sure to sign your AGSEM membership form: https://www.agsem.ca/membership-forms

The meeting information and agenda will be sent before the meeting to those who have registered. We will follow up with registrants for whom we do not have a signed AGSEM membership form. 

Union Elections

AGSEM members in good standing can run for any role: President, Secretary-Treasurer, Grievance Officer (2), Mobilization Officer, External Communication Officer, Macdonald Campus Officer, Equity Committee (5), Audit Committee (3), External Affairs Committee (open), Mobilization Committee (open), and the Mutual Aid Fund Committee (2). Positions will be held from May 1, 2023 to April 30, 2024. For all committees with more than two members, at least one member of the Committee (including the Executive Committee and Bargaining Committee) must be a woman and at least one member of each Committee (including the Executive Committee and Bargaining Committee) must be fluently bilingual in French and English. For the EC, this may be the President. Nominees for the position of President shall be bilingual (English/French).

Nomination process

Nomination forms must be signed by the nominee and 5 AGSEM members in good standing. Filled out nomination forms, including self-nominations, for any of the EC or committee positions can be sent to president@agsem-aeedem.ca. A person may be nominated for only one position during the nomination period. Members can also run in absentia provided they submit a Nomination Form prior to the GA.

The nomination period for all positions will last until Thursday, April 13th at 5:30pm, two (2) working days before the General Assembly. Nominations will also be accepted from the floor at the General Assembly, but only for positions that have one or no nominees.
