			CINP Board Meeting Agenda
			      May 11, 2015

1. Approval of Agenda

2. Approval of Minutes from Apr 14/15 Board meeting

3. Finance Report - Paul
   a) will need a motion to approve statements for Inst.Members meeting
   b) recommendation to waive audit for 2015

    - The federal Not-For-Profit Corporations Act requires members of a 
      corporation to appoint a public accountant at the annual meeting, 
      and that members of a soliciting corporation with gross annual 
      revenues less than $50,000 can,  by unanimous vote, decide not to 
      appoint a public accountant.
    - At the May 21, 2014 meeting, the Board voted to recommend to 
      the Institutional Members that the audit be waived that year, with  
      the intention to have an audit once every 5 years, as a way to 
      optimize the use of the CINP's Internal Funds while minimizing 
      risk.  This recommendation was subsequently accepted at the 
      Institutional Members meeting.
    - Does the Board wish to pass a motion recommending that the 2015 
      audit be waived, or is the 2014 recommendation sufficient for next 
      week's Inst.Mem. meeting?
