The relief of avoiding a Special General Meeting

The Coastal Jazz transition board

No Special General Meeting (SGM) will take place for Coastal Jazz, thanks to private negotiations. The society's board now has four members: Julia Ulehla, Michael Matich, Meredith Bates, and Mitchell Edgar. Franco Ferrari was the last board member to leave.

From the Coastal Jazz & Blues Society (CJBS), attributed to Nina Horvath, who is the executive director on staff:

"Key CJBS organizational priorities for the ensuing months will be to increase the inclusivity of the board, with a commitment to appoint experienced and diverse new members, representative of the community, within the first 90 days, an external review of governance practices, and, a revision of the CJBS bylaws."

The punctuation around "within the first 90 days" is ambiguous, but I think it means "appoint[ing] experienced and diverse new [board] members" in that timeframe. It's ambitious; 90 days takes us to around July 8th, the week after the Vancouver jazz festival ends.
