ESMHA Members and families,
This is a reminder that the 2022-2023 ESMHA Annual General Meeting will take place Sunday evening June 11th 630-830pm at the ESRC Bingo Hall.
Please see the purposed Bylaw changes in the attached ESMHA Bylaws. We believe it is important that we continue to grow and develop as an executive board, association, and partner to our community. The Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion Coordinator will continue to support our female membership and also broaden that support to encompass all members of racialized and ethnic communities. The ED&I Coordinator will support members, have access to resources, and carve a pathway to a better partnership with our community. They will advise, counsel, and make recommendations to the board of directors. There will be further purposed updates to this role as we continue to grow and develop together.
