Proposed Constitutional Change to simplify the election procedure
Following the challenges experienced in the exhaustive ballot election process at the 2017 Annual General Meeting, the NHAA Board is proposing to simplify the election process so it is easier for members to:
The NHAA Board is proposing that where there are more nominees than positions available and an election is required, members only need to vote for their preferred candidates for those positions. Those candidates who receive the highest number of total votes will be elected to the NHAA Board. If there is a tie for the last elected Director position another single vote will be required.
To implement this process requires a change to the current Constitution. The proposed clauses to be changed are outlined in the 2018 Annual General Meeting agenda.
Should the members approve the changes by attending the AGM at the time the meeting is held or by proxy, the election process will proceed via the new simplified format.
Should the members decide not to approve the change in the election process, the NHAA Board will proceed with the election process according to the current exhaustive ballot election process.
Below are the results of the call for nominations to be voted on at the AGM and the Proxy Form is attached for those members who wish to vote but cannot be present at the AGM.
