As a best non-profit practice, an Annual General Meeting (AGM) for BIA members should take place once a year to address legal requirements. An AGM ensures the business taxpayers have an opportunity to:

  • provide input on operational matters
  • ask questions of the board and staff
  • run for a board position
  • comment on the annual budget

The following are deliverables that may be presented at the AGM:

  • a report about proposed activities and upcoming budget from the executive director
  • a report including financial statements and budget overview from the auditor
  • nominations for new board members
