8b. Special Resolutions to change the Constitution
The following Special Resolutions will be proposed at the meeting:
- That clause 6.2(a)(i) of the Constitution be amended to read “At least three (3) but no more than seven (7) members appointed and approved at an annual general meeting of Members; and”
- That clause 3(b) be amended to read “To promote agriculture excellence within the region by encouraging sharing of information and resources.”
- That clause 3(d) be amended to read “To engage with existing community organisations to participate in steering the direction of future agricultural research and development in the region.”
The reason for the proposed resolution 1 is to increase the number of Board members from five (5) to seven (7) members which will bring the total Board membership to 9 (nine) members, plus ex-officio members. This will enable the organisation to maintain the cross section of skills required to manage the business of the organisation and strategic direction of the Board.
The reason for the proposed resolutions 2 and 3 is to correct some typographical errors which were in the original version of the Constitution. There is no change to the substance of either of those clauses.
