SMSA (Sydney Mechanics’ School of Arts)
Dear Members,
This is just a quick note to let you know the outcomes of the recent Special General Meeting held on 29 October 2019.
Three recommendations for changes to the By-laws were put forward to the members for consideration, with the following results:
- The first recommendation proposed correcting inconsistencies between the By-laws and the Act of Incorporation and addressing other editorial issues.
Carried on a show of hands. - The second recommendation concerned extending the maximum time for which a Director can hold the office of President.
Carried on a show of hands. - The third recommendation provided for the President to be elected by the Directors rather than the wider membership.
Not carried.
Once again, I would like to thank all our members who participated. We very much appreciate your time and effort to be there and value your continued support of the School.
Winsome Allen
President
