122st National Annual Meeting

Proposed Agenda in Brief

​
The IODE Canada Board of Directors in partnership with members from IODE Jon Sigurdsson Chapter had many plans to welcome members and guests from across Canada to Winnipeg, Manitoba for the 2022 annual meeting - after long discussions, it was decided the need to cancel the in-person meetings due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
​​
​The 2022 National Annual Meeting from 25 May to 27 May will be held as Zoom meetings and will be open to all members.  Everyone can attend without travelling anywhere!  We will be able to bring you speakers to share their ideas with you in the comfort of your own home.  Even though this year’s annual meeting will not be in person, Zoom will provide a visual experience where you will be able to see and hear our speakers and our national award winners.  A varied and informative agenda is planned.  The benefit of attending annual meetings is sharing with fellow members who truly believe in volunteer community service and learning from their experiences.  Make plans to register and attend.
