Amendments to the PAA Constitution

It is proposed to amend the current PAA Constitution to:

• Specify a maximum number of committee members (10)
• Allow the committee to appoint up to two committee members, who may be voting members, non-voting members or non-members of the association, because they have expertise that will assist the committee
• Allow the maximum tenure of a committee member (nine years) to be waived by ordinary resolution at a General Meeting of members
• Include wording recommended by the Australian Taxation Office to allow the PAA to be tax exempt

Proxy Voting on the motion to update the Constitution

Voting will be available for members attending the meeting via Zoom. Zoom voting allows each online attendee to place a single vote, so they cannot also place proxy votes.

Proxy voting forms are available at the link below for members who are unable to attend the meeting online.

Fully completed and signed proxy voting forms should be emailed to info@pilates.org.au by 5pm, Thursday 19 September 2024.

Ensure you clearly state whether you are for, against or abstain from adopting the proposed changes to the Constitution.

Elections

Robyn Rix (President) has reached the end of her second three-year term (as outlined in the PAA Constitution) and has decided to stand again for election.

Nominations were invited for the following positions which are up for election at this meeting:

• President
• Treasurer
• At least two ordinary committee members

Nominations

Nominations have closed and since the number of nominations received by the deadline was less than the number of vacant committee positions there is no requirement for an election.

The new Committee will be announced at the AGM.

Apologies

Apologies may be emailed to info@pilates.org.au
