2021 Annual Business Meeting

Ahoy, shipmates!

As much as the Board of Directors had to make the unfortunate decision to cancel the 2021 Alumni Weekend, we are pleased to inform you that the 2021 Annual Business Meeting is scheduled to take place virtually via Zoom on Saturday, 7 August 2021, from 1000-1200 (10:00 AM - 12:00 PM) PST.

For those of you unfamiliar with Zoom, it allows participants to collaborate over the internet, similar to being seated in a boardroom together. The ABM is restricted to active members of the Quadra Alumni Association who are in good standing, therefore, we request that you do not give out the meeting ID or password to anyone else, regardless how close a friendship you may have with them. The scheduled Zoom meeting link will be sent out to active members closer to the actual meeting date.

The annual business meeting will be immediately followed by a "Virtual Meet & Greet" (scheduled to start at 1200, but can be jopined earlier, if desired) where members can sit and recount tales, tall tales, and outright lies from their years in HMCS Quadra and the years that have followed. It is a slight but important opportunity for members to reconnect with old friends, even though we know that it cannot fully replace face-to-face contact. The link for the Meet & Greet is as follows:

Feel free to share the Meet & Greet link with any Quadra alumni, the more the merrier! We plan on having "Breakout Rooms" where we can put people based on Quadra era, trades, etc., whatever is requested... more info to come!

We understand that this is a very minimized effect of what would have been a great Alumni Weekend, but this just gives everyone so much more time to get organized to come out to the 2022 Alumni Weekend, so we hope to have a really great crowd for next year!

Cheers,

Charlie Cornforth,
QAA President
