2018 Annual General Meeting

It's almost time for YSA Melbourne's 2018 Annual General meeting, where we get together to look back on the last year and elect a shiny, brand-new Executive Committee for the year ahead!

As a member, AGM is your big chance to have your say in how our organisation should be run. Anyone who has been a member of YSA for at least 7 days can run for a general committee position, we'd love to see you nominate, so if you are thinking about running, or have any questions please feel free to email/approach any current exec member! If you'd like more information, the full details are available here!

The Annual General Meeting will be held at the Royal Society of Victoria (8 La Trobe St), starting at 11am sharp. A group will be meeting at Melbourne Central, next to the shot tower at 10:30 to walk up together.

Positions Available - Quick Blurb

Top 6: President, Vice President Event, Vice President Science, Secretary, Treasurer and Communications Officer -- These officers are responsible for directing YSA and making sure everything you know and love about YSA happens. To hold one of these jobs, you must be a YSA member, over 18, and have served on the committee for at least 9 months before.

General Committee Member (GeM) - 6 to 10 positions available -- These officers are responsible for assisting the top 6, running projects, events and other activities, and generally helping out in the community. They are ideal for anyone who is keen to get more invovled in running YSA, whether you are a first timer who only joined in January this year, or someone who's been around forever and has this great idea they really want to see happen! Estimated workload is up to you, but we'd guess about 1-2 hours a week, and there are no compulsory events!

I'm keen, what do I need to do?

In order to vote, or nominate, make sure you are a member of YSA. You can check this by logging into your TidyHQ account, just follow the links at the top of this page. Your membership must have been valid for 7 days as of the 24th or March - if it isn't you can renew online with a few clicks of a button. If you are having trouble checking, just email our Jess, our Secretary, at secretary@melbourne.ysa.org.au!

To nominate, all you have to do is send an email to our secretary, with your name, the position you are nominating for, and a nominator and two seconders (other people who think you'd be good, you can also nominate yourself). You can also include a bio and photo, which we'll put up on our website closer to the day!

Can't make it?

If you can't make the meeting and want to submit a proxy (to allow another member, or the chairperson of the meeting, to vote for you) or attend the meeting via telephone/videocall, check out the details of how to do so at this link.

Post AGM Social

After the AGM, we'll be heading back to Melbourne Central for lunch, before continuing to Games Laboratory, at 328 Little Lonsdale St, for an afternoon of the intense contests of mind, body, soul, with and luck that board games bring. They have an extensive library, so pretty much any game is possible. If you don't know any/many games, don't worry, we'll happily show you some of our easy-to-play favourites! Looking forward to seeing you there!

You are also welcome to join us just for lunch and games, but please do try and make the meeting if you are able to do so, as it is important for the future of YSA that you are able to have your say!
