NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING
To be held at the
Doubletree by Hilton Hotel, Alice Springs Northern Territory
3.00– 4.00pm CST Wednesday 24 May 2017
Agenda
- Present and Apologies
- IRCA Chairperson welcome and report
- Motion re eligibility for nomination of Directors
Motion: That the requirement in Clause 6.2.1.7 of the IRCA Constitution that “nominees for IRCA Director have been an Ordinary Member Representative or Associate Member under Clause 3.1.2.1 for a cumulative period of at least one year prior to their nomination as a Director” be waived for the Board elections on 24 May 2017.
Note: The reason for the waiving of the one-year requirement for Ordinary member representatives or Associate members to nominate is that IRCA has only been signing up members since November 2016 under the new membership structure so no current Members meet this requirement.
- Election of IRCA Directors
All IRCA Director positions are up for election in accordance with IRCA Constitution, as approved 27th September 2016, and IRCA’s Diversity Policy and Skills and Experience matrix.
- Close of Meeting
