SolarShare 2026 AGM Pre-Meeting Materials

May 1, 2026

On Tuesday, June 16 at 7pm, join us virtually for our 2026 Annual General Meeting!

Election 

For this year’s election, there are four open positions, with two directors, Mike Brigham and Pieter de Koning, running for re-election.

One of the four positions is to fill a vacancy, which means that seat will carry a one-year term rather than a standard three-year term.

The election will be run as a single process for all four open seats. The candidates who receive the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd highest vote totals will be elected to three-year terms. The candidate who receives the 4th highest vote total will be elected to a one-year term, representing the remainder of the vacancy term.

You can find out more about our amazing and dedicated directors and staff here. If you’re interested in running for the board or volunteering for one of our committees yourself, find out more below.

 

Election Process 

Directors are elected by the members at our upcoming Annual General Meeting on Tuesday, June 16, 7pm. Candidates may be nominated in advance or during the meeting.

 

Eligibility Requirements

To serve as a director, you must:

  • Be a member of SolarShare
  • Be at least 18 years of age
  • Be a resident of Ontario
  • Not be an undischarged bankrupt or legally incapable (mentally incompetent)

 

What We Ask From Candidates (Advance Nomination)

If you’d like to be included in the pre-circulated candidate materials, please fill out this form by Thursday, May 14, 11:59pm. As well, please prepare a short 60-second speech to deliver during the AGM.

 

Role Expectations

Board members are typically elected for three-year terms. Note that these are unpaid, volunteer roles, with directors typically committing 5-10 hours per month. Board members are responsible for overseeing the management of the Co-operative and typically participate in monthly board meetings, with additional committee involvement as needed. Experience in human resource management, financial audit review, and/or project development and operations in the electricity sector is particularly valuable.

Note: even if you do not submit your candidacy in advance, you may still be nominated at the AGM.
