At every Annual General Meeting (AGM), Board members’ terms usually come to an end. This creates the opportunity for new, motivated owners to step forward and volunteer—or for existing members to be re-elected. A dedicated and engaged Board is vital to ensuring transparency, accountability, and the overall health of your condominium community.

AGMs are more than just a meeting. They provide:

• Key updates and insights on finances, maintenance, and upcoming projects
• Opportunities to ask questions directly to the Board, auditors, or management team
• The ability to vote on leadership and decisions that shape the future of your building

Tips for Boards, Treasurers, and Committees

• Submit reports early: Ensure your Board or committee reports reach your Condominium Manager well in advance so they can be included in the AGM package.
• Encourage attendance with a social: Hosting coffee and cake, or wine and cheese after the meeting, is a simple way to increase participation.
• Clarify roles ahead of time: Decide who will chair and who will record minutes. A Condominium Manager can chair, allowing the Board to focus on engaging with owners.

Tips for Owners

• Prioritize attendance: AGMs are where you’ll hear major updates and learn about upcoming projects.
• Make your voice heard: Vote for Board members—or volunteer yourself to share your skills and perspective.
• If you can’t attend: Complete your proxy form and appoint someone you trust to represent your interests.

Building Stronger Communities

AGMs are more than a requirement—they are the foundation of good governance and strong community living. When Boards come prepared and owners take an active role, the result is a transparent, thriving, and well-managed condominium community.

At Connelly & Company, we encourage every owner to participate. Your involvement matters, and together we can ensure the communities we serve remain engaged, resilient, and successful.
