Roots AGM 2023

What is the purpose of the AGM? As many of you know, when you joined Roots, you did not just join another homeschool board, but you became a member of the Roots CHEF society. As a member you are given voting rights, a voice within Roots, regarding the decisions that are being made for this school year for Roots.

The AGM is coordinated every year in accordance to our society bylaws, which requires 10% of all eligible voting members to come together to discuss any pertinent information about Roots for the coming school year. You will be asked to vote on the proposed budget, any newly nominated board of directors (these will be announced in our AGM report), an ammendment to our bylaws and will also be given the opportunity to ask questions. You can expect the AGM report to be sent to you via e-mail, please take the time to review this information. Families are given one vote per household. If you are able, please plan to attend this meeting either virtually or in person.
