Dear DYHA Members,

You are invited to attend the DYHA Annual Meeting to be held Monday, December 9, 2019, from 7:00 p.m. to 8:45 p.m. at the Darien Library, pursuant to Section 4 of the DYHA Bylaws.

DYHA holds the Annual Meeting in December of each year, at which the Board gives an overall review of the DYHA program and the initiatives we are trying to achieve for the year.  This is followed by a Q/A session, during which the Board takes questions regarding any issue raised by Members.

In accordance with the DYHA Bylaws, a “Voting Member” is assigned to represent each of DYHA’s teams.  The responsibilities of a Voting Member consist of attending the Annual Meeting and relaying to the Voting Member’s team the issues and information discussed at the meeting.  In June, the Voting Member will represent the team in voting (by email) on the slate of directors nominated by the Board to serve for the following season. 

While each team will have a Voting Member present, other interested DYHA members are welcome to attend.  We look forward to an informative and productive meeting.

Best,

Patrick Mullin

President, DYHA
