As you know, the Cosmetology Association of New Brunswick (the “Association”) held its Annual General Meeting on June 2, 2025. At the AGM, two members were elected to sit on the Board of Directors of the Association. This was a mistake and, instead, all three members who had their names stand for election should have been acclaimed.
Unfortunately, the AGM meeting package also called for the election of only two seats on the Board when it should have referred to three seats of the Board.
Following the AGM, and after reviewing the Cosmetology Act and the By-laws of the Association, it was determined that there were only eight Directors on the Board even including those two new members who had been elected at the AGM.
The Act requires that the Board have nine Directors. This means that the Association must call a special meeting to hold a re-election for the three seats on the Board of Directors that were vacant at the AGM. The prior election results do not stand and the whole process of election must be restarted.
The special meeting will be for the sole purpose of electing three members to the Board of Directors. No other items can be dealt with at this meeting.
You will find enclosed the Notice of Special Meeting which will take place on August 11, 2025, at 9:00AM. The meeting will be held virtually. The instructions to register for the meeting are contained in the enclosed Notice.
If you would like your name to stand for election to the Board of Directors, please complete a nomination form which is available online at https://form.jotform.com/251185834261255 by no later than July 25, 2025. Please ensure that the Registrar acknowledges receipt of your nomination form to ensure that your name is included in the election.
If you previously submitted your name to stand for election at the AGM, please re-submit your nomination form to confirm that you would still like your name to stand for election at the special meeting.
Members are asked to continue sending their questions and concerns to the Association. We want to assure members that their concerns are being investigated by the Association. As you know, the Association has had to deal with a lot of changes recently and we appreciate the patience of the members as we work through this transition period.
We apologize for this mistake and any confusion that it has caused. We thank the membership for working with us to move the Association forward.
Sincerely,
Norma Brine
President
Cosmetology Association of New Brunswick
COSMETOLOGY ASSOCIATION OF NEW BRUNSWICK
