Questions can be asked at the meeting or can be submitted prior to the AGM and will be answered during the meeting. No Member may speak for more than two (2) minutes at a time or more than twice on the same question without permission from the assembly.  A Member who wishes to speak a second time on the same issue or ask more than one follow-up question at a time must wait until all other Members who wish to speak on the issue for the first time have had the opportunity to do so. 

Voting

Only Members in good standing, according to the Bylaws of Pathwise Credit Union, may vote and are entitled to one vote.  Voting will be conducted by a show of hands, inclusive of online participants. If the result is inconclusive, the Chair may appoint scrutineers to assist in counting the votes.
