Request to Presidents to Name Their Delegates SUBJECT: 2014 CIS AGM: appointment of delegates Please accept this e-mail as notification of the CIS 2014 Annual General Meeting. We are looking forward to the opportunity to gather to celebrate the accomplishments of 2013-14, to benefit from professional development and build on our strengths as we plan for the future. Canadian Interuniversity Sport regulations require that a letter indicating the two delegates and alternates be submitted to the CIS Office by the President of each member university. The 2014 Annual General Meeting will be held from June 10th - 13th at Vancouver, B.C. In order for a member university to have two (2) votes the following regulation applies: "If two persons are appointed as delegates, one shall be male and one shall be female, and each shall have one vote." Therefore, if a member institution appoints one person as delegate to the General Assembly, that delegate shall have only one vote, or if both delegates are the same gender that member shall have only one vote.
