Dear Southlands Families,
Southlands Elementary has had an active PAC thanks to dedicated volunteers. The PAC Executive is elected each June at an Annual General Meeting. Our AGM will be held on June 10, 2020 at 7:15pm. Due to physical distancing requirements, the AGM cannot be conducted in person and instead will be held on the Zoom platform (details to follow).
All positions on the PAC Executive have a one-year term. The 2019-2020 executive consisted of:
- Chair: Nina Monahan
- Vice-Chair: Farnaz Imani
- Secretary: Cecilia Imani
- Treasurer: Sandy Liu
- Assistant Treasurer: Jennifer Paterson
- Fundraising: Renee Hui & Uliana Vankovych
- Past Chair & DPAC Rep: Deb Broadhurst
- Member-at-Large: Melanie Antweiler
While all members of the current executive are willing to continue for a second term, we also welcome new volunteers.
To nominate yourself or another member of the Southlands PAC, please contact the nominations committee via Melanie Antweiler. An election for any and all contested positions will be held via anonymous Zoom vote during the June 10 AGM.
The agenda for this year's AGM is posted online. Please let Nina know if you have any additional items you wish to bring forth at the AGM
