Action on this motion was referred to the Director of Finance and Administration to bring a recommendation to the Finance and Audit committees as part of the budget and audit process. It should be noted that, as per the Bylaws of the Association, the audited financial statements are received by members, not approved. Sustainability Committee Progress Update The Sustainability Committee provided an update to Council on their progress on revision of APEGBC’s 1995 Sustainability Guidelines. The committee has received initial feedback on their revised guidelines that indicates addi- tional work and consultation with the member- ship would be beneficial. The committee will submit an implementation plan to Council in January 2012. Council Work Plan Updated The Council Work Plan follows a three-year cycle and guides the work of task forces, working groups, committees, divisions and staff in delivering on the goals and objectives of APEGBC’s Strategic Plan. The last major rewrite of the Strategic Plan took place in the Fall of 2010. Work was reported to be on schedule for most items with only minor adjustments. One item was added: the Climate Change and Adapta- tion Advisory Group. Work on this item is expected to begin in early 2012 with the first report to Council scheduled for May 2012. The Council Work Plan is available online at: www.apeg.bc.ca/about/docu- ments/ councilworkplan2011-2013.pdf. Value for Money Steering Committee Update The Value for Money Steering Committee was established to act on behalf of Council to oversee the conduct of the annual review of the efficiency and effectiveness of expenditures. The review process will be based on a four-year cycle in which different Association programs are reviewed each year. The committee has retained a consultant with extensive experience in this area and has developed a work plan, timeline and scope for the review.

“Buy and Hold” is old school. It does not work, in our opinion.
