DELEGATES

Member clubs are reminded that they are entitled to be represented at the Annual General Meeting by one delegate, who is able to speak and vote on their behalf at the meeting.

Clubs have therefore been requested via email to nominate their delegate on a ‘Confirmation of Delegate’ form – and return it to Clubs SA by Monday 12th October.

Closer to the AGM, clubs will be requested to confirm whether their delegate will be attending the AGM, and if not will be encouraged to either nominate a person to attend in lieu of the delegate or to submit a proxy (see below).

PROXY

Where a delegate is unable to attend the AGM, the Member club is able to submit a proxy to the chair of the meeting by completing and returning an ‘Appointment of Proxy’ form to the Clubs SA office by 3:00 pm Monday 23rd November.

Proxy forms will become available (from the Clubs SA website, or via post or email on request) when the business of the AGM, including motions submitted by Members, has been finalised.

Members will have the option of granting discretion to the chair to vote on their behalf, or directing their votes on one or more items of business.

BOARD NOMINATIONS AND ELECTIONS

In accordance with the transition provisions of the Constitution and s7.1, there will be One ‘Extraordinary’ Board vacancy.

Nominations are now open to fill this position for the balance of the existing term, concluding at the 2027 Annual General Meeting

Member Clubs and Member Associations may nominate an eligible person for election to the Board by completing a ‘Nomination for Clubs SA Board’ form for each nominee.

Nominees are encouraged to provide a candidate statement of up to 200 words and a recent headshot for publication by Clubs SA to assist Members considering their vote.

Nominations must be received by the Clubs SA office by Tuesday 27th October.

Should there be more nominations for election than there are vacancies, an electronic secret ballot of Member clubs will be conducted, for which details will be provided following close of nominations.
