Current President Arie Dekker is not standing for the committee, so will automatically fill the role of: Immediate Past President
Voting papers will be available at the club and emailed to members in advance of the meeting. Those members eligible to vote can email rorym@sportauckland.co.nz in advance of the meeting with their voting paper if they do not attend the AGM.
Voting papers will also be available for members to vote at the AGM and Sport Auckland will be present to receive these.
All voting papers will be checked against the membership database.
All membership classes except juniors are eligible to vote. Eligible voting members will be all members of the club (including complimentaries) at 28 February 2019.
Any members whose membership lapsed in six months up to 28 February 2019 and are active again before 28 April 2019 will also be eligible to vote, as will any members who are identified as having been paid members through the period up to the AGM, but who may have come off the membership list for some reason.
The membership database has been subject to a thorough tidy-up and reconciliation against annual subscriptions and direct debits over the last two months and access tidied up of inactive members.
The current committee has asked Sport Auckland to help the new incoming committee - subject to their willingness - to help with governance and strategy. In particular, Sport Auckland have offered to help the club with a new fit-for-purpose constitution (which would be put to members for approval during the year) and strategy (also put to members).
