These changes are reflected in the revised By-Law attached. The principal changes were to replace “Steering Committee” with “Board”; broaden the potential organizational membership; reduce the size of the Board, the Executive Committee and the number of meetings; and change the fiscal year end from December 31st to March 31st.</p><p class="m_8688414747543064801m_-4765022337004893572gmail-text-align-center" style="color:rgba(26,26,26,0.701961);text-align:center;word-wrap:break-word;margin-bottom:0px">Since then, the Board has also reconsidered the categories of officers and proposes to re-introduce the Vice-Chair position to the Board and the Executive Committee. In addition, the responsibility (in Section 7.04) to provide a semi-annual accounting of funds held in trust by the Corporation has been moved from being a responsibility of the Secretary to being a responsibility of the Treasurer (Section 7.05). These changes are also reflected in the revised By-Law.</p><p class="m_8688414747543064801m_-4765022337004893572gmail-text-align-center" style="color:rgba(26,26,26,0.701961);text-align:center;word-wrap:break-word;margin-bottom:0px"><a href="https://www.endhomelessnessottawa.ca/news/2018/8/29/alliance-agm-september-21st-2018" target="_blank">To visit our website for more information click here.</a></p><p class="m_8688414747543064801m_-4765022337004893572gmail-text-align-center" style="text-align:center;word-wrap:break-word;margin-bottom:0px"><b><font color="#000000">Stay connected to Alliance </font><font color="#ff0000">News & Events</font><font color="#000000">:</font></b> <font color="#ff0000"><a href="https://endhomelessnessottawa.us17.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=acb768fef8c9b01a92f7e9af5&id=c686a125f1" target="_blank">Sing up for our Newsletter.</a></font></p><p class="m_8688414747543064801m_-4765022337004893572gmail-text-align-center" style="text-align:center;word-wrap:break-word;margin-bottom:0px"><b>Missed our latest <font color="#ff0000">Members Update</font>?:</b> <a href="https://www.endhomelessnessottawa.ca/news/2018/8/21/alliance-membership-update">Find it here.</a></p><p class="m_8688414747543064801m_-4765022337004893572gmail-text-align-center" style="text-align:center;word-wrap:break-word;margin-bottom:0px"><br></p></div></div></div><div><div class="m_8688414747543064801m_-4765022337004893572gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><b><i style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><font color="#444444"><br></font></i></b></div><div dir="ltr"><font face="tahoma, sans-serif"><b><i><font color="#444444">Kristen Holinsky</font></i></b><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><div><font size="1" face="tahoma, sans-serif">Executive Director</font></div><div><font size="1" face="tahoma, sans-serif">Alliance to End Homelessness Ottawa</font></div><div><font size="1" face="tahoma, sans-serif">171 George Street - Ottawa, ON - K1N 5W5</font></div><div><font size="1" color="#0000ff" face="tahoma, sans-serif"><u><a href="mailto:kholinsky@endhomelessnessottawa.ca" target="_blank">kholinsky@endhomelessnessottaw<wbr>a.ca</a></u></font></div><div><font size="1" face="tahoma, sans-serif">613-241-1573 ext. 314</font></div><div><font face="tahoma, sans-serif"><a href="http://www.endhomelessnessottawa.ca" style="font-size:x-small" target="_blank">www.endhomelessnessottawa.ca</a><span style="color:rgb(0,0,255);font-size:x-small">
