- 1983-04-21 — In 1983 the institution of the National Convention went through another of its periodic bouts of growing pains. Attendance again was limited to the delegates and the members of the two participating Institutions, the Board of Counsellors and the
National Spiritual Assembly, although members of the Auxiliary Board were also welcome as guests and observers.
Prior to the Convention, the National Spiritual Assembly had sent to all delegates a list of questions on which it felt the incoming membership of the Assembly would most urgently need the delegates' advice. In the same mailing, the delegates received the Annual Report from the National Assembly and reports from each one of the national committees.
Those elected to serve on the National Spiritual Assembly were: Douglas Martin (sec'y), Hossain Danesh [chair), Jane Faily, Ed Muttart (treasurer and ass't sec'y), Ruth Eyford, Michael Rochester (vice), Glen Eyford, Husayn Banani, and William Hatcher.

Assembly of the Bahá'ís of Canada.
The nine members are Husayn Banani,

The Canadian Bahá'í community elected
171 delegates at the Unit Conventions, as instructed by the Universal House of Justice. Of
the 171 delegates, 164 cast ballots to elect the
National Assembly. Of the 164, 155 cast their
ballots in person at the Convention. Canada's 43rd annual National Convention will

for its focus on teaching French Canadians and
Natives. [BC Vol 4 No 2 June 1991 P3]
