- For orderly procedure, pre-registration shall be strictly enforced for attendance for purposes of obtaining quorum only.
- There are three categories of attendance in the AGMM:
- Proxy Holders/Alternate Proxy Holders: active members for attendance and holds proxies
- Active Members: for attendance without any assigned proxy.
- Observers: active members who decided to attend but has designated proxies.
- Requirements for Proxy Voting:
- Proxy forms to be valid should be signed individually by the Principals and submitted fully accomplished by proxy holders, or emailed by the Principal to the Corporate Secretary (chsalumnae@gmail.com) or Class Representative on or before February 29,2024 . Please see to it that your email is verifiable as having been entered and the proxy form incorporated in the email or attached thereto and sent by you or on your behalf.
- SMS the photo of the signed form to Class Reps or to Corporate Secretary (09209107026)
- Corporate Secretary will have the proxies verified as of date of AGMM.
- Each proxy form will be assigned a Code for identification for digital purposes. Example: HS67-001
- All proxy forms will be validated by the Secretariat to verify the status of the membership of the Principal and Proxy-holder.
- The proxy form should indicate an alternate proxy-holder, or the presiding officer, who may vote in case of the absence of the primary proxy-holder.
- Proxy Validation:
- All proxies are presumed valid.
- Where on its face, a proxy is questionable, the Corporate Secretary will examine said proxy and other pertinent records if available or interview persons involved.
- The Corporate Secretary is authorized under the law to fairly determine whether or not a proxy is valid. Some of the reasons for nullification of any proxy:
- Proxy form is unclear or has markings and erasures that make it illegible or incomprehensible.
- The signature on the proxy does not appear to be that of an active member
- The sender of the emailed proxy cannot be identified or is not an active member
- The proxy form does not indicate the name of the proxy holder nor alternate and has even deleted the “Presiding Officer” as secondary alternate proxy.
The ruling by the Corporate Secretary on any matter involving proxy validation is final.
