2011 REFERENDUM ON INCREASE TO BASIC DUES
HAVE YOU VOTED YET? 
---------------------------
TELEPHONE & INTERNET VOTING OPEN UNTIL DECEMBER 8

Voting for the 2011 Dues Referendum closes next week. If you have already voted, please accept our apologies for this reminder.

Telephone and Internet voting remains open until 5:00 p.m. PT on December 8. Referendum results will be announced on December 9, 2011.

Equity has received a number of inquiries from members on dues remission, and from long-time but inactive members, wondering if they were truly eligible to vote on this matter. All members in good standing are eligible, and are encouraged to vote in this referendum.

Any voter who has not received a ballot or who has a question regarding Internet or telephone voting, is encouraged to contact the voter help line at 1-800-387-1856 (416-867-9165 in Toronto) for assistance. The voter help line is staffed 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. ET weekdays. Or email Equity at communications at caea.com.
