NOMINATIONS NOW OPEN FOR 2008/09 VSTA COMMITTEE
The VSTA AGM date has been set – SUNDAY 27 JULY 2008. We will be promoting the event as a social BBQ much the same as last year. It will be held at Pit Lane in Albert Park, starting at 12 Noon.
Part of the fun of the AGM is the “voting” process to elect the new committee. There are 28 available committee positions to be filled. If we DO NOT get more than 28 nomination there is no need for a ballet. Those in attendance today from the current committee were asked to consider their intentions as to whether to nominate for another term.
Please note, we ask that you consider seriously if you should nominate for a repeat term. Attendance at meetings is a vital form of contribution; if you do not believe that you will be able to attend at least 5 of the 11 meetings held each year it may be best for you not to submit a nomination.
VSTA is currently staffed by volunteers and managed by the elected committee members who also volunteer their time. While the activities undertaken by VSTA to date have affected some change, we would be able to achieve much, much more with appropriate systems and people in place to help share the workload. At present were are lucky if more than a third of committee members attend a meeting, good attendance sees us hitting 50% but in order for us to be truly effective and for the workload to be shared without burden, we should be aiming for 80% attendance at every meeting. (For those who do not have their calculator handy, that’s 22 out of 28).
We all appreciate that from time to time, work commitments and personal commitments will prevent some of us from achieving 100% attendance record, which is why the committee is so large. If you would like to work towards ensuring a sustainable future for our industry and wish to be part of VSTA as it grows it into a meaningful industry association, please submit your nomination now!
PLEASE REGISTER YOUR INTENTION TO NOMINATE BY EMAILING EITHER CAROLINE LOGAN at mail@vsta.com.au or MICHELLE WELLS at info@vsta.com.au
We look forward to receiving your nomination and hope to see some new faces as part of the incoming committee!
