[Aqualist] AQUA 2018 AGM is 11.00 am (AEST) Wed 23rd May at UNSW

[Scott Mooney]

Dear AQUA Community,

The 2017 AQUA AGM will be held UNSW (room 552B in the Bioscience Building D26) on Wednesday 23rd May at 11am (Australian Eastern Standard Time; UTC+10.00). The entire meeting will be about 30 minutes (or less).

We encourage participation in the AGM and need to have a quorum of 10% of (financial) 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.

If you want to attend physically please email me (s.mooney at unsw.edu.au) and I will send you directions.

If you are not able to attend physically, but want to participate, you can send a proxy vote (you must use the form below) or you can Skype in to the meeting (if you would like to be included in the Skype call please email Emily Field e.field at uq.edu.au and add emily.watson99 to your contact list well before the meeting). We realise that Skype can be problematic and we are working on accessing other platforms for this (we will send a message around about this as it is available).

This is also an open call for anyone that would like to be considered for any of the committee positions. For the past couple of years we have been using 'shadow' positions and a number of those have stepped up into committee roles…. so we have the option of adding new ‘shadows’. If you are interested in participating, in any way, please let one of the Committee know.
