GOAWA AGM 2018
For Members Only
The AGM of the GOA committee was held at AAA house on 5 August 2018 and a new Committee was elected un-opposed. The new committee would like to thank all the members who attended the AGM and we hope to receive your support during our tenure.
On the day, a Special Resolution was passed “resolution without dissent” and the members of GOAWA present at the meeting ratified:
"That the GOAWA has its existing Constitution (rules of the association) be altered in accordance with the attachment to this resolution to enable the GOAWA to comply with the Associations Incorporation Act 2015"
We are now in the process of lodging the new constitution with the dept. of Consumer Protection.
