We hope as many members as possible can attend the AGM as will be seeking
members feedback on issues around club structure, association focus etc.
The Board will also provide an overview of recent developments with a focus
of the development work now underway by the consultant John Armstrong – a
number of issues than need input have arisen from this work.

_COMMITTEE MEMBERS_

The Board is also seeking nominations to a number of vacant positions and in
particular it will be important to obtain further members to the Board and
the competition committee. The board currently has 4 vacant positions and
our ability to get things done is severely limited if we are only resourced
to 50%. Similarly we have 1 person running the Competition Committee – it
should have at least 6 members.

_AACT Constitution Amendment – FOR CONSIDERATION_

The Board of AACT is proposing the following change to the constitution such
that more than 2 persons can be elected as life members in any one year.
This is to provide greater flexibility in making such recommendations and
the Board will still assess nominations prior to their being put to
membership for election.  The existing criteria of at least 20 years service
to the sport of athletics will not change.

Clause 6.3 of the AACT Constitution reads:

“No more than 2 persons shall be elected as life members in a calendar
year.”

_Proposed amendment:_

To delete clause 6.3 and subsequently re-number the remaining clauses in the
Life Membership section.
