Annual General Meeting Report
Our AGM this year was a huge success! It was wonderful to see newly returned JETs coming out and mingling with veteran alumni members. We had Nha-Thy Vo, a senior member of the JETAA Quebec/Atlantic team, join us. The meeting began with an overview of the various activities and events JETAA Toronto hosted during the 2011 year. The group discussed and voted in our new bylaws (which will be posted to the website shortly). The bylaws were passed with an overwhelming result of 87%.
The remaining part of the AGM was used to discuss and vote for the new representatives of the 2012 JETAA executive committee. The following are the results for the 2012 JETAA executive team:
