This first annual GTA Brews AGM will be conducted from 8:30-10:00 PM on Sunday Feb 21st.

The meeting will be chaired by outgoing President, Eric Cousineau (message from Eric).

- Electing the Board of Directors (Three Executive + Two At-Large Directors)
- Sharing our latest financial statement with members
- Conducting other club business and sharing other club updates
This is our first AGM since incorporating, so all our of Executive and Board positions are up for election. Please see our dedicated GTA Brews Election post for details on the election process, open positions, and instructions on how to nominate yourself.
