The complete NAGM Agenda and more information is available online at: http://www.caea.com/Equityweb/NewsAndEvents/News/2011/N-AGM/AGMAd.pdf

All Equity members in good standing are encouraged to attend. Apprentice, provisional and probationary members are also welcome and encouraged to attend. Please bring your current membership/apprentice card to show at the door.
 
The NAGM is divided into two segments. The first portion will take care of necessary business items and be kept as concise as we can reasonably manage. It will include: 
* reports from the President and Executive Director, with updates on current initiatives, such as the Insurance and the Independent Theatre reviews
* receipt of the audited financial statements and appointment of the auditor for the coming year
* member resolutions* 

'The Digital You' 
The second half of the evening will be an open forum on the subject of new media technologies and their increasingly important role in live performance. The forum will be an opportunity for members to share experiences and advice, and learn about copyright issues and more.

We hope you are able to join us for what promises to be an informative evening. It's a chance to connect with Councillors from across the country, your regional advisory and, of course, your local colleagues. Refreshments will be served.

* For information about introducing a resolution, please contact President Allan Teichman at president at caea.com, or by mail to the National Office (contact information is below).
