Agenda

The agenda for the meeting will be published later over the weekend 4/5 May. 

Special Resolution

The following Special Resolution will be included in the agenda for the National Council AGM:

Special Resolution – Requiring 75% of those present and eligible to vote

To consider, and if thought fit, to pass the following resolution:

That the definition in the Constitution of a Branch of the Association which currently reads:

“Branch” means the Parent Support Committee established by the National Council to administer the needs of an ATC Squadron or unit.

Be amended to read:

“Branch” means the body appointed pursuant to this constitution to provide support to a designated ATC Squadron or unit.

Reason

The current definition is not consistent with Clause 7.9 of the Constitution which provides more detail about the establishment of a Branch.

There is no provision in the Constitution enabling or requiring Branches to be responsible for administering the needs of ATC Squadrons or units.

Construct

The proposed definition is constructed along the same lines as the definition of the National Council which reads: “National Council” means the body appointed pursuant to this constitution to enact Rules and approve policies for the Association.
