MMF Committed to Following the Direction of the Annual General Assembly:

As you know, at the Manitoba Metis Federation (MMF) 40th Annual General Assembly on Sept.14, 2008, the following four membership-related resolutions were unanimously supported and passed by the delegates:

Resolution #1 (re: Individual Membership)
For new applications for membership, this resolution clarifies the need for a genealogy and supporting evidentiary documents showing the applicant’s Metis Nation Ancestry. For current members, genealogies and documents must be provided by September 1, 2012.

Resolution #2 (re: Termination of Membership)
This resolution provides further clarity to addressing memberships that do not meet the Metis definition and the genealogy and supporting evidentiary document requirements of the individual membership classification.

Resolution #3 (re: Application Process)
The resolution offers the Board of Directors the option to delegate its membership authorities to the Regional Committees, or other committees as the Board of Directors shall determine, thereby making the process consistent with current practices.

Resolution #4 (re: Appeals)
This amendment provides the Board of Director authority to determine and appoint the Membership Appeals Tribunal and prescribe the form and manner of the appeals. This amendment also completes full removal of the Senate from the Constitution.
