ASA Ballot – 2020 Constitution Amendments
Background
The ASA is incorporated as an Association in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). The changes to the ASA Constitution are required to comply with recent ACT legislative changes for Incorporated Associations. These legislative changes include some current national incorporation requirements. The ASA is already bound by the new legislation but we must align our Constitution to be consistent with it.
Changes to the ASA Constitution require a ballot of all voting members of the Society in accordance with clauses 37 (Changes to the Constitution require a ¾ majority) and 29 and 30 (Ballot procedures).
This ballot of all voting members is to approve changes to some articles of the ASA Constitution as indicated in the document below:
