2020 Virtual General Meeting
Despite canceling our in-person June 2020 General Meeting due to COVID-19 (which was going to be held in Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA), we were pleased to be able to hold the GM virtually on Saturday, June 20, 2020 utilizing the Zoom video conferencing platform. We had over 45 members in attendance! Members can find documents discussed at the meeting, as well as a video recording of the meeting, in the Login area of this website. See you at our next GM in 2022 which we hope will take place in....... SCOTLAND! More details will be posted here as we approach 2022.
Past Clan Gatherings & General Meetings
We hold a Clan Gathering & General Meeting every two years over a long weekend in usually June or July. We try and make sure our GM coincides with a Highland Games happening in the same geographic area so we can come together and represent Clan MacKinnon with a clan tent. We hope our next GM will take place in Scotland in 2022. We are still in the beginning stages of planning this most epic GM that will bring MacKinnons back to their ancestral homeland. In more recent times, our prior GMs include those listed below:
