2012 SAU-Vic EGM/Committee Elections

Location: Garage Cafe

Time: 6:30-10:30PM (7:30PM Formalities)

Date: Wednesday 20th Feb

Food: Finger Food.

Drink: Beer & Soft Drink

The 2013 SAU Vic elections will be held via EGM at the February Club Meeting on Saturday 16th February 2013

At this meeting, the new Committee for 2013 will be elected. All current Committee members will step down on 16/02/2013.

So when exactly is / was this?

And isn't it the AGM (Annual General Meeting)? An EGM is an Extraordinary General Meeting.

[Sunkist]

Read the OP again I think it's been updated.

It's on Wednesday, and I think the E may stand for elections

[emts]

It is an EGM, during which we do the elections.

AGM is usually novish, cannot remember exact off top of head.

it is wed night 7pm

An AGM is exactly that an Annual General Meeting

And EGM is an Extraordinary meeting, a meeting called upon by the Committee members

Not sure what the relevance of whether its an AGM/EGM has any bearing on the topic discussed at hand

[Sunkist]

And in the morning? I'm makin waffles

"The Annual General meeting (AGM) is an important event for every organisation. It gives its members, the general public and the committee a broad overview of the organisation's current directions and financial health and confirms its purpose.

It is also the time to revitalise the organisation through the official engagement of members into key elected positions."

An Extraordinary General Meeting is called at times other than an AGM, usually in response to a crisis occurring in the running of the organisation.

Feb 20 is surely the AGM, as dictated by the rules of incorporation.

Are we really going to argue becuase the post has an E and not an A? Are you not going to turn up because its an EGM and not called an AGM?

The agenda of the meeting is clearly outlined in the first post.

The rules of the Club are governed by the Club constitution, this dictates how the club is run. There are no set rules from every incorporation. i could call it a PGM (Party General Meeting) and if that's what the constitution says that's what it will be.

In addition we have already had a AGM this year. So should we call this our Double Annual General Meeting?

If you have any further issues of what we call our meetings please contact Consumer Affairs on 1300 558 181.

Or feel free to nominate yourself as Treasurer and re-write our club constitution.

"Tony loses it"

[blind_elk]

Sorry Tony, but you are wrong. The club may be governed by its constitution, but that constitution is governed by the Incorporations Act, which has recently been amended. As an executive committee member, this is something you need to be aware of. The Incorporations Act contains what are termed "model rules", and it is these that are generally used to form the constitution of incorporated bodies, like SAU-Vic.

If you have already had an AGM, then that is the time you should have elected a new committee.

Because the Incorporations Act 2012 has changed the "model rules", many incorporated bodies are calling Extraordinary General meetings to pass a resolution to the effect that their constitution be changed in line with the revised model rules.

As an executive member of the committee, I suggest you familiarise yourself with the rules that govern the operation of incorporated bodies.

The club's constitution doesn't need re-writing, it just needs to be adhered to. Unfortunately, I can't stand for committee, as I am not a financial member of SAU-Vic.

(FWIW, I have some 20 years experience in serving on the committees of various incorporated bodies)

[Sunkist]

Oh my god Becky look at hurr butt

[blah_blah]

It's governed by the 'model rules' or it can create its 'own' rules.

Model rules versus own rules

Your association may use the model rules, or create its own rules. Either way, the rules must address every item listed in Schedule 1 of the Associations Incorporation Reform Act 2012

If you want to further discuss this please take it to PM and not to clutter this thread.
