In the past, member participation was limited to those in attendance at the meetings with their vote and any open proxy votes in hand. Resolutions and recommendations, nominations for zone director, deputy zone director and award nominations took place at the meeting. All the decisions on the business of the zone were made by those in attendance. This was in part because attendance meant prohibitive travel costs for many members in the larger zones
MAAC by-laws and the Canada Corporations Not-for-profit Act require that members have the opportunity to vote on the business of the zone by open or closed proxy. The meeting notice sent to all zone members, twenty-one (21) days in advance of the meeting date, includes, in the agenda, the business that will be considered and voted on at the meeting. Members that are not able to attend in person are encouraged to vote by open or closed proxy on the agenda items.
