Apologies for the emailing AGM notice to some work email addresses as seemed to be glitch in the email list.
Explained that elections had been suspended and we still had full complement of executive members from 2019 AGM election.
Discussed the list of events and activities since 2019 AGM which can be found on PIPSC OSB website. One in-person movie event in December of 2019 then only virtual events for 2020 and 2021.
For future in-person meetings or events, the participants must be vaccinated. Members will need to use the SAP Concur application and complete an expense form and attach their proof of vaccination for their second vaccine.
The Legacy Foundation scholarship from OSB donation was awarded to the child of an OSB member in 2020. The recipient is a student at Western University in Medical Sciences. Our best wishes go to him and we are pleased to have contributed to his future successes.
PIPSC elections are in progress and voting must be completed by Nov 5, 2021. All members should have received their voting code.
