Special General Meeting
when? Wednesday 11 March 2026 at 12pm (noon)
where? Remotely on Teams.
To all ORSNZ Members,
As you may be aware the Incorporated Societies Act has changed in 2022 and, being an Incorporated Society, ORSNZ needs to update our constitution to be compliant with the Act. Otherwise ORSNZ will cease to be a Society.
In its meeting on 24/2/2026, ORSNZ Council voted to recommend adoption of a new proposed constitution to our members. This new proposed constitution is available here for your review. However, ORSNZ can only adopt a new constitution in a Special General Meeting attended by a sufficient number of its current Members.
We therefore call a Special General Meeting to be held on Wednesday 11 March 2026 at 12pm (noon) remotely on Teams.
Please join us for this meeting at the provided link. When joining the meeting, please ensure your display name matches the name you would have registered your membership to ORSNZ with.
We ask as many ORSNZ members as possible to join this meeting as we will need to vote to adopt the proposed new ORSNZ constitution. We have to ensure the meeting meets quorum and therefore I ask that you attend the meeting if at all possible.
I expect the meeting to be short, unless there are any major concerns with the proposed constitution. If you have any concerns, can you please share those with me in advance.
Regards,
Andrea Raith (ORSNZ President) on behalf of ORSNZ Council
