We are greatly honoured to have Alex Neve as our speaker, after three years of trying to find a day that fitted his incredibly busy schedule. The leading voice for human rights in Canada, and a member of the Order of Canada, Alex Neve travels the world for Amnesty International, and is regularly in the news as a critic of both international and Canadian government policies which fail to live up to human rights standards. Alex will discuss global human rights work from several perspectives, as well as address questions about Shui-bian’s case.
Important changes this year
Concerned that rushed meetings for the last two years did not allow for a careful discussion in the annual meeting, or more questions after the speaker, we are scheduling more time for both the annual meeting and the program. Cost of membership and banquet are separate items. Members will vote and take part in annual meeting, and get a discount on banquet. Non-members may choose to only attend banquet and talk. General membership remains $40, $25 for students.
