We’re having our 2014 AGM a week from this Sunday. This year, we’re doing it in U of T’s Hart House, in the Debates Room pictured above. (We expect a vigorous debate over who will get to sit in the royal chair to the bottom left.)

All are welcome for the opening presentation and discussion. If you have volunteered in 2013 or are interested in possibly volunteering in the future, you are especially encouraged to attend!

Sun. Jan 12, 1pm
Hart House, University of Toronto
7 Hart House Circle
Debates Room, 2nd Floor
Light refreshments provided.
RSVP here (survey completion optional).

We will be starting with an open-to-everyone presentation of our 2014 slate of projects, and the partners that make it possible. (Thanks to everyone who completed the Community Survey, which gave the board guidance on which projects to prioritize as well as identified potential coordinators and volunteers.)

After that there will be a chance for people to chat — this is a great time to get to know the coordinators and other volunteers for the individual projects.

Finally, the AGM proper will be held, open only to Hand Eye Society members. As well as the usual business (see our 2013 minutes for what to expect) we will be considering several new board members for two year terms: new nominees are Alex Hayter, Sagan Yee, and Alex Jansen. Miguel Sternberg will be running for a second term, and will be Chairing the meeting. Mare Sheppard and Jim Munroe’s terms are ending, but Munroe is staying on as Executive Director. The full AGM Agenda will be sent prior to the meeting to those that RSVP.

You qualify for Hand Eye Society membership if you have volunteered 10 hours in 2013 to any game culture project in town (ie. not just one of our programs), and you can register for it (and receive your card) at the beginning of the AGM. New members will also be given a promotional discount code for the Fancy Videogame Party that marks our 5th year! Please feel free to get in touch if you have questions about membership.
