Annual General Meeting (AGM)
The AGM is the highest decision-making space of the UTMSU, where general members receive an update from the representatives of the organization, and have the opportunity to make decisions such as amending the Constitution and Bylaws, or give a general director to the executives.
The AGM is also a space to review and approve the audit and finances of the organization. As a non-profit, we are mandated to seek an audit once a year to ensure that our finances are kept in check.
