Draft branch by-laws for branch annual meeting (BAM)
Member of the Calgary and District Branch,
One of the annual key activities is a review and update of our by-laws. The Branch Board of Directors have approved several amendments to the by-laws. The changes related to
- Directors’ attendance at Branch Board Meetings, and
- Nominations from the floor for election of Director
- Clarification of effective date of the branch by-laws
Members are asked to review the documents and forward any feedback or questions to our branch email calgarybranch@federalretirees.ca. The board would like to address any concerns early so that these amended by-laws can be approved as presented at the April 21, 2023 branch meeting.
Documents included:
- Draft by-laws – Version V3.2, March 2, 2023
- Briefing note highlighting the amendments and approval process
- Nominations 2023 - 2025
Additional documents for the Branch Annual Meeting will be shared with members closer to April 21, 2023.
Thank you for your time and participation.
The Calgary and District Branch board of directors

Board of directors call for nominations
The branch annual meeting (BAM) for the Calgary & District Branch is scheduled to be held Friday, April 21, 2023 at the Silver Springs Golf & Country Club, commencing at 10:00 a.m.,
Some of the current members of the board of directors will be stepping down, while others’ terms are expiring. There are anticipated to be three vacancies that need to be filled by the election of directors. Four current directors are seeking re-election, and two members have put their names forward for the 2023-2025 term. There is a need for an additional director to fulfill the role of Secretary.
Your board of directors is seeking volunteers who would be interested in joining the board for a two-year elected term as director, or as a volunteer “friend of board” to work on specific branch projects and campaigns. The board of directors functions largely through collaborative committees, so support is always available.
This is your opportunity to support the Calgary & District Branch and the National Association of Federal Retirees that works tirelessly to protect your pensions and benefits, and to advocate for all seniors.
There are a variety of opportunities in which you could contribute, based on your interests and skill set:
- Advocacy
- Membership
- Finance
- Communications and social media
- Event planning (luncheons/presentations)
- Veterans
- Outreach to members outside of Calgary (Airdrie, Banff/Canmore, Chestermere, Cochrane, Okotoks, Strathmore, Drumheller)
We ask that you consider supporting your branch and put your name forward for a position on the board of directors or as a "friend of the board."
If you have any questions, please contact Pat Henderson, chair of the nominations committee by email at calgarybranch@federalretirees.ca or by phone at (403) 880-6066.
Respectfully,
Pat Henderson
Past President, Calgary & District Branch
On behalf of the branch board of directors
