The previous post advised of a Special General Meeting to pass a Special Resolution to replace the current Constitution and Bylaws with a revised version. Revisions include rewording of the bylaws referencing the membership year, membership classification definitions and membership fee schedules.
All memberships expire at the end of the membership year. At present, all WRPC memberships will expire December 31, 2017.
Current fees for membership will remain the unchanged. Pro-rated memberships will no longer be supported.
Once the Special Resolution is passed and the Registrar of Societies grants approval, the bylaw changes will take effect. This means that all memberships that are due to expire December 31st will be extended and will then expire March 31, 2018. The new membership year will then commence April 1st, 2018 and expire March 31, 2019.
