[Aqualist] Notice of AQUA AGM - 19 May 2016

[Duanne.White]

Dear all,



The AQUA AGM will be held in conjunction with the annual Quaternary Techniques course, held at GNS Science, Rafter laboratories Lower Hutt on Thursday 19th May at 12:45pm New Zealand time (10:45 am Eastern Australian time). The AGM will be 30 minutes (or less hopefully).


We encourage participation in the AGM and need to have a quorum of 10% of members to vote in a new committee, so we appreciate the time of all those that can attend, either in person, electronically or via proxy.


Also, as usual, are looking for Quaternarists new or old to step into committee roles if they are interested. For the past couple of years we have also trialed 'shadow' committee positions for those that were interested in participating on the committee, so there's an option to try before you buy.


For those of you not able to attend physically you are able to send a proxy vote or you can skype in to the meeting. Please email the current secretary (Duanne.White at canberra.edu.au<mailto:Duanne.White at canberra.edu.au>) if you would like to be included in the skype call or to register your proxy votes.
