Item - 2018.EP10.14

The Board of Governors of Exhibition Place:

1.  Appointed Connie Dejak as the Board representative to the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair Association  for the 2018 term.

In January of each year, a Notice of Appointment of Representative is received from the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair (RAWF) requesting the appointment of one representative of the Board to the RAWF.

At its meeting of March 23, 2017, the Board appointed Connie Dejak to the RAWF for the 2016 and 2017 term:  http://app.toronto.ca/tmmis/viewAgendaItemHistory.do?item=2017.EP2.16

Given that Connie Dejak has been a member of the Board since 2011 and was first appointed as representative of the Board to the RAWF for 2015 and 2016 term, I believe it is appropriate that she continue to represent Exhibition Place for 2018.

As a representative, the member can raise issues pertinent to the interests of Exhibition Place as they relate to the business of the RAWF; the Board representative will be updated on financial matters of the Association, the strategic directions of the fair and will have an opportunity to participate in the election of the Board of Directors.
