From May 27-29, 2011, YMCA Canada held its 99^th Annual General Meeting (AGM) at YMCA Geneva Park in Orillia, Ontario.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Over 285 people attended the event, including more than 50 young leader delegates. The energy was high, and it was a remarkable opportunity for YMCA staff members and volunteers to gather.  As a group we were able to look back on accomplishments in 2010 as well as focus forward into the future. This AGM had a historic element, with a unanimous vote to move forward with a federation-wide strategic plan – PLAN Y.

IN THEIR OWN WORDS

I had the pleasure of speaking with many people during the AGM and am happy to share their insights and ideas with you over the next few days through the videos we filmed.

Today I am happy to share a conversation I had with Jim Loyer (YMCAs across Southwestern Ontario), Marva Wisdom (YMCA-YWCA of Guelph) and Germain Pitre (YMCAs of Quebec) about their experience at the 2011 Annual General Meeting.

What key learning and/or experiences did you take away from the 2011 annual general meeting?
