Welcome

ITR Theatre Company will hold its Annual General Meeting on Sunday, September 21, 2025 in the upstairs hall in the Osgoode Community Centre, 5660 Osgoode Main St, Osgoode, ON. The meeting will begin at 2:00pm.

 

WHY WOULD I ATTEND THE AGM?

 

The annual general meeting is a wonderful opportunity to hear what is happening with ITR, what our plans are for the coming year and connect with people we only typically see around showtime. It is open to absolutely anyone and all are welcome.  Anyone who has paid their membership dues, or is a patron (which includes membership) is eligible to vote on the Executive Director positions as well as any other motions that are put forward. We very much hope to see many of you there!

​

Prior to the elections, we will be proposing the following change to our Constitution:

• In Article V - Board of Directors - Remove the positions of Vice President and Director of Communications and Community Outreach

• In Article VII - Board Meetings - Change where it says ‘or the Vice President acting on  behalf of the President’ to read ‘or another Executive Board Member on behalf of the President’

 

Why are we proposing this? In our world today, volunteers are much more comfortable stepping up to take on smaller roles that feel manageable in our busy lives.  A smaller number of elected Executive positions gives us more flexibility to have Directors at Large that can be appointed any time, or general members who take on individual tasks that would previously have been handled by some of these roles.

 

If passed, this would mean that at this AGM we will select the following Executive Officers of the Board. We are seeking nomination for all of the following 3 positions:

 

1. President/Chairperson 

2. Secretary 

3. Treasurer

​

Some positions do have incumbents who are letting their names stand for re-election. However, if someone wishes, they do have the opportunity to run against these individuals.

 

Additionally, we are looking for more Directors at Large - these are voting members of the board who do not have a specific role to fulfill, but are expected to attend Board Meetings which are typically held monthly and are asked to select from a list of other jobs and duties to help support ITR’s various activities.  Anyone can become a Director at Large at any time - if you are interested, please speak to either myself or any other Board Member.

 

Here is a list of the types of activities that a Director at Large may fulfill based on skill set and the current needs of the organization …

• Box Office Manager

• Assistant Box Office Manager

• Information Management - G drive management

• Inventory Manager

• Sponsor Coordinator

• Social Media Manager

• Community Outreach Manager

• Webmaster

• EODL Liaison

At the AGM, light refreshments will be served. So that there are sufficient snacks, we would appreciate it if  you would let us know if you are planning to attend.  You can do this by contacting me at basquejorie@gmail.com by  September 19th.

 

We look forward to seeing you there.

 

Jorie Basque

President, ITR
