 ===If members of a non-profit properly submit a member proposal, does the proposal have to be discussed or voted on at the AGM?===
-[https://www.bclaws.gov.bc.ca/civix/document/id/lc/statreg/15018_01#section81 Section 81](4) of the ''Societies Act'' states that if a non-profit receives a member proposals at least 7 days before the AGM notice is sent, the non-profit must include with the notice the proposal, the names of the members submitting the proposal, and a statement of support if requested. The ''Societies Act'' does not explicitly require the proposal to be on the agenda, nor does it require the members vote on the proposal. However, given the ambiguity of the statutory language regarding member proposals, whether or not the proposal must be discussed at the meeting is something for which the non-profit should seek the opinion of a lawyer.

The society must allow one of the proposers, who must be a voting member, to present the proposal at the AGM.
