The following motion was adopted by the PEI Museum & Heritage Foundation at its AGM on March 14, 2007
Where the Museum & Heritage Foundation represents the interests of an entire province and has broad mandates covering fields as diverse as archaeology, natural history and all aspects of the history and material culture of the province.
As the organization is now embarking on major initiatives to fulfil its mandate that will require additional capacity on the Board of Governors - and the Legislature in its wisdom prepared for the eventuality that the organization may need to have additional board members at some point
Be it resolved that the policy of the Museum & Heritage Foundation be established that names are put forward to the Lieutenant Governor in Council to fill all positions allowed by the Museum Act section 3 ( 5.1). Specifically the Board currently comprised of seven shall be increased to nine.
And further, since the Lieutenant Governor in Council currently requires that there be two names go forward for any appointment, that as long as this process remains in place, there would be a pool of names established by election at the AGM and that this pool of names would be maintained by the Board so that when vacancies arise during the year, that they shall draw from this pool to forward to the Lieutenant Governor in Council.
Prior to the AGM each year the Board shall determine the number of vacancies that will occur during the coming year and seek to have twice this number of candidates added to a new pool of names each year through a nomination and election process held at the AGM.
