Item - 2019.EP1.3

The Board of Governors of Exhibition Place:

1.  Appointed Howard Lichtman as the Board representative to the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair Association ("RAWF") for the 2019 term.

In January of each year, a Notice of Appointment of Representative is received from the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair (RAWF) requesting the appointment of one representative of the Board to the RAWF.

At its meeting of March 22, 2018, the Board appointed Connie Dejak to the RAWF for the 2018 Term http://app.toronto.ca/tmmis/viewAgendaItemHistory.do?item=2018.EP10.14

At its meeting of March 23, 2017, the Board appointed Connie Dejak to the RAWF for the 2016 and 2017 term. http://app.toronto.ca/tmmis/viewAgendaItemHistory.do?item=2017.EP2.16

Given that Howard Lichtman has been a member of the Board since 2017 and has indicated an interest in being appointed, I believe it is appropriate that Howard Lichtman represent Exhibition Place for the 2019 term.

As a representative, the member can raise issues pertinent to the interests of Exhibition Place as they relate to the business of the RAWF; the Board representative will be updated on financial matters of the Association, the strategic directions of the fair and will have an opportunity to participate in the election of the Board of Directors.
