Report to the Fall 2018 Annual General Meeting
In accordance with the AMA Bylaws, the Nominating Committee nominates candidates for office to be elected by the Annual General Meeting, to be elected by the Representative Forum, and to be appointed by the Board of Directors of the association.
The Nominating Committee submits the following nominations for consideration during the AGM:
1. Composition of Representatives to CMA General Council 2019
NOTE: The CMA is proposing changes to its bylaws relating to General Council. The changes are being considered at the CMA’s 151st Annual Meeting/General Council and inaugural Health Summit August 19-22. As a result, decisions regarding AMA’s composition of representatives to attend CMA General Council 2019 will be made following the August 2018 CMA meeting and an update as necessary will be provided at the AMA AGM on September 22.
However, in the interim, and as required under the current AMA Bylaws, the Nominating Committee is to provide to this AGM the composition of representatives it proposes for CMA General Council 2019. The president attends General Council by virtue of the position and is not included in the count of Alberta representatives currently allowed to attend (31):
- President-Elect
- Immediate Past President
- Speaker or Deputy Speaker
- Ten representatives named by the board
- Eleven representatives named by the Nominating Committee
- Two physician appointees of the CPSA, at least one of whom must be an elected member of the Council
- One dean or designate
- Two student representatives
- Two PARA representatives
2. Speaker and Deputy Speaker 2018-19
Speaker: Dr. Carl W. Nohr, General Surgery, Medicine Hat
Deputy Speaker: Dr. Fredrykka D. Rinaldi, General Practice, Medicine Hat
In accordance with custom, brief profiles for these candidates as contained in AMA records, are on pages 10 and 11.
3. Nominating Committee 2018-19
The AMA Bylaws require that the AGM elect four (4) members and one (1) alternate member to the Nominating Committee.
At last year’s AGM, the following amendments were approved pertaining to elected members to Nominating Committee:
- The term for members elected to the Nominating Committee will be set at two years; additional terms may be served but cannot be consecutive.
- The AGM shall identify one alternate member to attend meetings of the committee in the event an elected committee member wants to be considered as a Nominating Committee nominee for an elected position. The alternate member will serve a one-year term but cannot serve more than two consecutive one-year terms.
The current AGM-elected members and their terms follow:
|
Dr. Sandra Corbett* |
PSY Fort McMurray |
2 years (2017-19) *Resigned April 2018 |

|
Dr. Alayne Farries (alternate) |

As noted, Dr. Corbett resigned from the committee, therefore a vacancy exists to fill a two-year term 2018-20.
Dr. Vaidya will continue on Nominating Committee to complete her two-year term until September 2019.
Dr. Alakija’s and Dr. Choy’s two-year terms end September 2018 and they are not eligible for re-election.
Having served a one-year term as the alternate, Dr. Farries is eligible to run for election to the Nominating Committee for a two-year term as a member, or a second one-year term as the alternate member.
Therefore, four members are to be elected to the Nominating Committee at this AGM as follows:
- Three members for two-year terms 2018-20.
- One alternate member for a one-year term 2018-19.
