Members encouraged to attend SGLBA AGM
The SGLBA鈥檚 annual general meeting will be held on Thursday, September 22, at the ACON offices at 414 Elizabeth St, Surry Hills.
The current SGLBA board asks current financial members to attend the meeting to hear reports from the 2010-2011 directors, and to elect the new board.
Current board member Amanda Keeling believes this is an important chance for members to endorse their representatives by voting for the new board.
鈥淚t鈥檚 essential that members attend the AGM in order to have their say about who they would like to have on the board,鈥� she said.
鈥淪ome of the current board members will be standing again and there are a few stepping down. There will be positions available on the board and we are keen to see these spots filled by people who the members feel can really contribute to the organisation and the future direction of the Association.鈥�
There will be a casual networking function after the formal part of the evening.
If you can鈥檛 make it to the AGM, please organise your proxies (will be posted to members).
The SGLBA welcomes new directors鈥� applications from committed, skilled professionals. Women are especially encouraged to apply.
