President’s Letter: Invitation to attend virtual Annual General Meeting and in-person President’s Dinner
Dear Colleagues:
I am pleased to invite you to attend our upcoming Annual General Meeting on June 3,
2023, at 2:00 p.m. NT. The AGM is open to all members and will be virtual to
accommodate members living throughout the province. The annual meeting is an
opportunity to discuss the business of the NLMA and debate resolutions.
Following the AGM, the NLMA will hold its annual President’s Dinner in-person at the
Emera Innovation Exchange at 7:00 p.m. This celebratory event welcomes the new
NLMA President into the role and is an excellent opportunity to network with colleagues,
honour award recipients from the NLMA and the CMA, and hear from the new NLMA
President.
