Further to the first AGM notice circulation on January 3, 2023, FHBC is sending out a second of four planned community communiques in preparation for the upcoming VIRTUAL Field Hockey BC Annual General Meeting on February 8th, 2023 (6.30pm).

Submission of Formal Motions

FHBC Board of Director Nominations
The following four FHBC Board of Director positions are up for election in 2023:
- Vice-President
- Domestic Director

FHBC has posted the terms of reference for each position above and the applicable nomination form in the General Meeting Documents section of the FHBC website www.fieldhockeybc.com/documents/ under the heading 2023 FHBC AGM. To nominate an individual for any of the Board of Director positions above, please complete a nomination form and return the form by January 19, 2023 to info@fieldhockeybc.com.
In addition and as a polite reminder, the full calendar outline for the submission of information and documentation ahead of the virtual FHBC AGM is as follows:
- AGM Date: February 8, 2023 at 6.30pm
- Deadline for Submission of Nominations to the Board of Directors: January 19, 2023
- Deadline for Submission of Formal Motions: January 19, 2023

- Deadline to Register Questions in advance of the AGM (Optional): February 6, 2023
- Virtual AGM Trial Run (Internal): February 7, 2023
The timeline above recognizes the level of complexity required when considering a virtually hosted AGM and in particular sets realistic submission deadlines designed to enable FHBC to pre-load election, motion, and voting detail into the supporting technology. Once such detail has been pre-loaded sufficient time remains for FHBC to communicate with members (most specifically voting members) as to how such technology will be utilized both in advance of and at the AGM.
FHBC intends to provide further AGM update/reminders scheduled for membership dissemination on January 20, 2023 and January 30, 2023. Each AGM update is intended to provide guidance as to due process ahead of pertinent calendar deadlines.
In the meantime, please do not hesitate to reach out and contact us at info@fieldhockeybc.com should you have any questions regarding the 2023 FHBC AGM.
Yours in sport,
Mark Saunders
Executive Director
