These measures apply to Calgary and surrounding communities (see full list).

The organization will hold it's annual general meeting (AGM) from 12 noon to 12:45pm on 21 November 2020 in accordance with the Societies Act and our bylaws, for ANA members to review and plan for our financial health, appoint officers for the next period, and consider changes to our governance.

All Netball Alberta members* who have registered by 31st October 2020 will be eligible to vote and thereby participate in decision-making at our AGM.
This year our AGM will be run in strict adherence to Alberta’s COVID19 protocols. As an AGM is considered a ‘structured meeting’ not a ‘social gathering’, it will be conducted in-person at Southland Leisure Centre in an appropriately distanced and sanitized environment. 

Reports and financials will be available for review prior to the AGM date.
​
The agenda will be:
· Approval of AGM agenda
· Approval of minutes of 2019 AGM
· Revision of Alberta Netball Association ‘Objects’ (see below)
· Board appointments and resignations
· Approval of financial report, budget and audit arrangements
· Any other business
· Closure
This year we wish to make an amendment to our objects, to strengthen the mandate of the Association and align with the Societies Act. Please read the linked proposal for more details.
It has been a tough year but Netball Alberta stands strong and is planning for a safe return to play for all our members.
