Modo Annual General Meeting 2015

On January 29, Modo's member-owners will come together for our Annual General Meeting, Fair and After-Party.

Annual General Meeting + Modo Fair – 6–9 pm

At the AGM, we'll review and celebrate the previous year's operational and financial achievements, present on upcoming initiatives, vote on the proposed amalgamation with Victoria CarShare and re-elect two of our current Board directors by acclamation.

Before the meeting is called to order, from 6–7 pm, attend the Modo Fair to meet staff, learn about the exciting new projects each department is working on and give feedback about how we can up our game.

RSVP to attend (everyone is welcome; only shareholding members may vote).

After-Party – 8:30 pm–12 midnight

Meet and mingle with the Modo community following the AGM! As in year's past, we'll transform the Modo office into an intimate house party and enjoy a beautiful spread of delectable edibles, local beer and wine, music by our favourite DJ, dancing, and the chance to meet other Modo members, partners and friends.

RSVP for the After-Party. Last year’s party sold out so get your (free) tickets ASAP!

New location on The Drive!

Pro-Tip: Manage the damage

 

This Prius C looks brand new but a quick inspection reveals a scratch reported by a member. Our fleet team is dedicated to keeping our vehicles in tip-top shape, but accidents happen and we need your help to manage the damage.

 

Remember, a quick call to Modo is your solution for problems, from damage to battery drains!
