Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)

• Can any BPWCCUL Member attend the AGM?

  Yes, all members 16 years and over are entitled to attend any BPWCCUL general meeting.

• Why do members have to register to attend the meeting(s)?

  Members have always been required to register for our meetings. This ensures the accurate recording of meeting attendees in the minutes of the meetings as required by our regulations. It is therefore necessary that all members continue to register to attend the upcoming AGM/SGM and future occurrences.

   

  While the registration process was previously manual and done in-person at the meeting location, it transitioned to an online automated process with the advent of COVID and has continued since. This change to online provides the additional benefit of ensuring meeting access to a greater number of members, especially those who wish to attend the meetings but cannot be physically present on the day.

   

  For purposes of effective meeting management our preferred option is for registration to be completed before the meeting date.

• How do I vote in this year’s elections?
