OTHER RELATED INFORMATION:
After the nominations have closed  the collated results of the valid nominations received will be communicated to all financial members  prior to the AGM. In case there is more than one nomination for the position of President, Vice-President, Treasurer or Secretary, and/or if there are more than five nominations for the five Committee member positions, there will be an election as per Agenda item #5. The relevant candidates for contested positions will have an opportunity to present their credentials for the position at the AGM, prior to the conduct of the election. In the event of an election only active financial members are allowed to vote. In case members are unable to attend the AGM they can use the attached Proxy Form to nominate a proxy to cast their vote on their behalf. The signed form must be received by the Secretary (by email to mail@iitav.org.au) before the AGM or the proxy should present it under Agenda item #1 above.
