GETTING OUT THE VOTE DATES TO REMEMBER Nominations for a role on our Board open on Friday 13 November 2020 and close at 5pm AEST on Friday 11 December 2020.

Voting is so important to the quality of your organisation! Plan to vote and encourage every member you know to do the same. This is YOUR organisation, it’s of YOU and for YOU. It is YOUR money that is being spent – running an election costs thousands of dollars, so why not use it? Of 6,297 members listed as eligible to vote in our last board election in February 2019 only 1349 did – that’s just 21.42% of our membership. We have an enormous pool of talent and knowledge in our membership so why not step up and nominate? YOU can and will make a difference for the better by getting involved, nominating and getting out the vote. Like many similar organisations we face a number of issues and we’re not just talking about the pandemic. Our membership is ageing and falling, so we need to grow our brand and reputation. There is so much more we can achieve.
