A Message from the Board Chair
As Chair of the Board, I warmly invite you to attend the Cooperative Memorial Society’s 2026 Annual General Meeting (AGM). The AGM is your opportunity as a member to hear directly from the Board, review the Co-op’s work, and take part in important governance decisions.
This year, members will be asked to vote on Board-recommended updates to the Articles and Bylaws—key documents that guide how your Co-op is governed. After careful review, the Board believes these updates will strengthen CMS’s governance while preserving our mission, values, and member-owned structure. Your participation and vote are vital to the health and future of our cooperative.
We encourage you to review the AGM materials posted on this page and join us on February 28, 2026, 1:00 PM by Zoom. We require 50 members at the meeting for quorum. Thank you for being an engaged CMS member.
