Proxy Voting Explained

Pursuant to a 2010 amendment to the Temple Sinai Constitution, we will be permitting proxy voting at this year's annual meeting for the first time.  Here’s how the proxy voting will work:

• A proxy form will be emailed, mailed, and made available at Temple Sinai. It is also available on left on this website.
• You may fill out the form and mail it to the Temple, return it in person to the Temple, or have another member bring it to the Annual Meeting on May 22.
• The intention of the secretary is to vote in favor of the slate of officers, the 2011-12 budget, and the Constitutional amendment.  In the event that an amendment(s) is offered from the floor at the Meeting, the secretary will use her discretion in choosing how to vote.

The purpose of proxy voting is to ensure that a quorum of 15 percent of the adult members of the Congregation vote at the Annual Meeting.  The leadership of Temple Sinai strongly encourages you to attend the meeting in person, but the proxy option allows your vote to be counted if you cannot attend.  Important information will be presented on the budget, an update will be given on Temple Sinai activities and events, and this past year’s accomplishments will be reviewed.
