On Tuesday, June 22, Orchestras Canada’s chair Ann Lewis-Luppino (President and CEO of the Calgary Philharmonic) presided over our Annual General Meeting for the 2009-10 fiscal year during our national meetings in Winnipeg.

Members heard reports and updates from a number of people – and here are some highlights!

The Money
Treasurer Cathryn Gregor (Chief Operating Officer of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra) reported that OC is in good shape financially, ending the year with a surplus of $9624 on an expense budget of $343,747.

The People
Vice Chair and Chair of the Nominating Committee Thérèse Boutin (Directrice générale of the Orchestre symphonique de Trois-Rivières) reported on the work of this centrally important committee and presented a slate for the 2010-11 season, which was approved. She thanked outgoing board member Tricia Baldwin (Managing Director of Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra) for her contributions to the organization during her term on the board, and welcomed Bryan Croft (General Manager of the Ottawa Symphony Orchestra) to the board for his first term.
