We held our 3rd Annual General Meeting on October 30, 2025. Members approved our financial statements and heard updates from all our working groups.
We also discussed our financial sustainability and updated on our work to migrate to Canadian service providers. We approved a new strategy to replace priorities we set in 2023, made three changes to our official Rules, and welcomed two Directors to the Board. Those Directors join four Directors who will serve out their remaining terms.
Our 2025 – 2026 Board members:
- Dawn Walker, President (1 year remaining in term) @dawn@cosocial.ca
- Mick Szucs, Vice-President (1 year remaining in term) @mick@cosocial.ca
- Austin Ziegler (1 year remaining in term) @halostatue@cosocial.ca
- Django Doucet (1 year remaining in term) @Django@cosocial.ca
- Evan Prodromou (2 year term) @evan@cosocial.ca
- John Durno (2 year term) @jdd@cosocial.ca
Members can find our draft AGM minutes and report package on our members discourse.
Preparing for 2026
With the meeting behind us, what’s next? We have an aggressive but doable timeline to migrate to Canadian hosts by the end of 2025. The move would reduce our infrastructure costs–our biggest expense–and strengthen our financial footing at our current size.
However, to address our sustainability we need to grow revenues and members in 2026. As right now, 100% of our revenue comes from membership fees and contributions. Thankfully, we have reserves we can draw on if needed for migration or costs related to attracting new members and partnerships.
Our members approved a strategy of growth, service expansion, and improving the member experience. As part of that strategy, we prioritized key activities to do in the near term:
- Dedicated outreach and communication with key groups and organizations
- Deploying collaboration tools that align with our stack
- Growing participation in working groups to adequately support TechOps
- Hosting social events for members
We already have two virtual social events planned in December: next in a reading group series with social.coop and an end-of-year holiday social.
Let’s cooperate to make 2026 even better at CoSocial!
