Dear Friends of ONPEA

RE: Call for Nominations for the Ontario Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse Board of Directors and Notice of the Annual General Meeting

As Chair of the Nominating Committee, I am pleased to announce our annual Call for Nomination for the ONPEA Board of Directors and to give legal notice of ONPEA’s Annual General Meeting, to be held on Tuesday, October 2, 2012 in the Sala Caboto of Villa Colombo in Toronto.

We are currently recruiting board members with an interest in elder abuse issues who represent Ontario and who want to be actively engaged with this growing organization. The term is two years. Meetings take place 4 times a year by telephone in person in Toronto. This is a volunteer position; however, travel expenses are reimbursed.

Members in good standing of the organization are entitled to nominate individuals for election to the Board. Application requires the completion of a Nomination Form which must arrive at the ONPEA offices by the end of business on Tuesday, September 4, 2012. The Nominating Committee will review the nominations and prepare a slate of candidates for election to the Board of Directors, which will be presented at ONPEA’s Annual General Meeting.

For more information regarding the responsibilities of board members please contact Teri Kay, Executive Director of ONPEA. To obtain a nomination form and a copy of the rules with respect to nominations please call Mary Mead, Executive Assistant. Both Teri and Mary can be reached at 416-916-6746.
