AGM
The AGM will start promptly at 1 p.m. on Friday, November 20 at
Oakham House, Ryerson University (55 Gould Street) in the
Thomas Lounge. The AGM registration package has been mailed
out and members should receive it in the mail by October 23. Much
of the information in the package has been posted in the members
only section of the OSP website at www.psychotherapyontario.org,
including the minutes from the 2008 AGM membership and
business meetings, the resolutions being put forward to the
membership this year and the slate of officers for approval.
Resolutions this year are from the Task Force on PeaceMaking
Circles regarding conflict resolution, the Professional Development
Committee regarding CEUs and the Task Force on Legislative
Issues regarding a member levy. Remember that Joyce Rowlands,
Registrar of the Transitional Council of the College of
Psychotherapists and Registered Mental Health Therapists, will be
attending the AGM. This will be followed by a wine and cheese
reception.
Vacancies on the Board of Directors
Currently there are six vacancies on OSP’s Board of Directors for
2009/10. Some positions can be filled by Qualifying members
(Public Relations Chair, Secretary and Treasurer), whereas the
Chairs of the Ethics, Membership and Nomination committees must
be filled by Clinical members. Nominations are now closed.
However, since the slate of officers is incomplete, nominations will
be sought from the floor at the AGM. Members are asked to
volunteer for the vacant positions. Each nomination requires
support from two OSP Clinical members.
Regional Corner in prOSPect
Look for the latest column in the issue of prOSPect in the AGM
mailing. Trish McCracken has been appointed the coordinator of
OSP's Outreach Task Force and has submitted the first article to
the “regional corner,” which will have articles of particular interest to
OSP members living outside of the GTA.
