General Membership Meeting is an important meeting because it provides
the opportunity for current members to have a direct voice in several
important decisions affecting the governance of the IMC for the upcoming
year. This year's agenda items include voting on proposed by-laws and
structure document changes, electing new officers and directors to the
Board, establishing annual membership dues, and hearing a brief overview
of current IMC programs and activities.</div>
<div> </div><div>More specific information regarding by-law and
structure document proposals as well as officer and board member
candidates will be posted to the IMC website as the GMM nears. Please
look for this upcoming information and review it carefully. </div>
<div> </div><div>The IMC membership is the IMC. The GMM is the IMC's
special effort to afford real democracy to all its members. Consider
attending and participating in your GMM.</div><div><br></div><div>Sincerely,</div>
