RAAus election 2024

Strange turn of events - three vacancies, three applications - usually they are "elected unopposed" but there's an election?  Two are current Board Members.

 

2024 Board Election Notice

Recreational Aviation Australia Limited has received three valid nominations for the 2024 Board Election, where three Director positions are available.

What a great waste of money going through an election if they could have been elected unopposed.

Maybe someone gets a commission for using Vero?

Note that access to the Candidate Statements is only available by clicking the link above [Member Portal].  If you just log in to RAAus and go to Governance, 2024 Board Nomination .. you won't find anything.

 

I am just wondering if someone has had a close look at their Constitution and realised the wording isn't very good and an election has to be held regardless of the number of nominations being equal to the number of vacancies.  It seems a waste of time and resources.  5th September (tomorrow) as start date - a bit rushed?

I was right - "Under the constitution, a ballot is still required."

I hope someone doe a re-write on the Constitution to save members' money.  I got my electronic voting email today.

It’s no longer an incorporated association with a committee of management. There’s a divide now. People voted for that, so the Company manages itself.
