SUBJECT: U.B.C.M. CONVENTION FORMAT

During the 1979 U.B.C.li, Convention in Vancouver, the delegates gave the U.B.C.M, Executive a general mandate to examine the handling of resolu- tions during a Convention and to recommend appropriate amendments to the U.B.C.M,. by-laws during the 1980 Convention so that a more. suitable system can be implemented at that time.

U.B.C, M. President Mayor Charles Lakes has now appointed a Committee’ to review the present method of handling resolutions, the general organiza- tion and content of the annual Convention and the system whereby members provide for their next Executive members to be elected at large or ap~ pointed by the five Area Associations and the City of Vancouver.
