2023 Annual General Meeting Report

May 3, 2023

Gabe Mercier – Chair & Secretary

The Wellness Advocacy Committee had a very successful year. The committee members worked cooperatively with the RTAM office in the delivery of workshops and seminars, by providing the RTAM Office with ideas for workshops/seminars they felt were of interest to members, and in some cases helping to find presenters. Members conducted research and provided articles to KIT on health and wellness issues, evaluated the workshops presented to members and provided suggestions for improvements, and evaluated and approved grant funding applications on wellness activities submitted by RTAM Chapters. The committee reported to the board on wellness issues, workshops/seminars and strategies to improve the wellness of RTAM members.

Workshops/seminars presented this year included:

Sharon Tod seminar on Estate Planning (October)

Christine Cross on Death Doula (December)

Renée McGurry on Cultural Awareness & Sensitivity (February)

Marian Goldstone on Mood Disorders, (March)

Phil Taylor on intro to Zoom (April)
