DELEGATE ASSEMBLY

An open meeting of member and non-member affiliate association representatives and industry partners, the Breeds & Industry Division Delegate Assembly is held in February in conjunction with Equine Canada’s Annual Convention.

The representative structure for member associations in the Breeds & Industry Division would include a "Delegate Assembly", including designated or elected delegates from each member association of the Division.

The number of representatives that each member association would be eligible to send to the Delegate Assembly would be calculated on a proportional basis, reflecting the number of individual members of the national association, as per the following formula:

• National Associations with 100 individual members (or less) 1 Delegate
• National Associations with between 101 and 500 members 2 Delegates
• National Associations with between 501 and 1,500 members 3 Delegates
• National Associations with between 1,501 and 2,500 members 4 Delegates
• National Associations with 2,501 members or more 5 Delegates
• Each provincial federation would send two (2) Delegates to the Delegate Assembly, representing provincial industry interests.

The accepted number of members for the purposes of calculating eligibility for delegates would be considered to be the number of paid members to the respective member Association at the end of the previous fiscal year (including lifetime and honorary members where applicable).

Only Delegates at the assembly in person shall vote. No proxy voting would be allowed.

Each member Association would be responsible for the costs of sending their delegates to the Delegate Assembly. The Delegate Assembly would convene every year.
