The bylaws provide for us to have an annual meeting, at which we present yearly reports, elect National Board members, and may install our newly-elected Officers and Executive Committee:
|
|
|
|
a. Branches. Each Branch shall hold an Annual Meeting in the month of December to receive and act upon Annual reports from the Officers/Chairpersons of Standing Committees and to vote for members of the Board of Directors and may install those Officers and Executive Committee Members elected at the Biennial Election. |
|
We had expected to have our annual meeting to coincide with this month’s General Membership Meeting. However, due to COVID-19, the National Association does not have the list of Board candidates settled yet. We are therefore going to postpone our annual meeting until that is resolved.
The bylaws provide for a special meeting of the membership to be called with three days' notice; we may need to use that provision to call our Annual Meeting. If that happens, we will use an email like this to call the meeting.

Theme for 2021-2022?
For the past term, we’ve been using the theme “Sentry for a Century” to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Branch’s founding, in 1919. Now that we are 102, it’s time to change the theme.
To that end, we’re asking for suggestions for a theme for the new term. Please submit your suggestions to:

~ Paint & Painters Needed ~ |
|
Do you have some time and/or paint and want to help the Branch out? We're looking for someone to paint our office. It's about the size of a small bedroom, but there is a lot of stuff that will have to be moved out and then back in. It's probably a job best done by two people. We are also looking for some white paint. Interested? Email president@sandiegonaacp.org.
