Management Committee Positions
For Election in 2025
Start-up provisions require that all members of the first Management Committee retire at the 2025 Annual Members Meeting, although they are eligible to stand for re-election. Thereafter, elected members of the Management Committee hold office for a period of three years commencing immediately after the Annual Members Meeting at which their election is declared and ending at the conclusion of the third Annual Members Meeting after that.
New positions available for committee volunteers have been streamlined to ensure volunteers are not overburdened with time or responsibility in the roles. Committee roles can be adjusted and customized subject to skills and availability. Please connect with us to discuss them.
