How to Run an Annual General Meeting

Provincially incorporated non-profit organizations are required by law to hold an Annual General Meeting (AGM).

Ensuring that this statutory business meeting takes place is part of good governance. An AGM is an important part of the democratic life of an organization.

Check out SaskCulture’s web page How to How to Run an Annual General Meeting for more information about its purpose, timing and how to prepare for one.
