The 2012 SAU Vic elections will be held via EGM at the February Club Meeting on Wednesday 15th February 2012

At this meeting, the new Committee for 2012 will be elected. All current Committee members will step down on 15/02/2012. All Committee positions are up for voting and nomination.

However it will only be the Executive Committee who gets voted in on the night of the EGM by the existing member base.

The Executive committee will then pick the general committee as they see fit from the members who are nominated here.

It is wholly the duty of the Executive Committee to pick, add, delete, and change the General Committee as they see fit.

Nominations can only be made by financial members of SAU-Vic.

Please note that the General Committee does not need to be nominated here to be selected...

However please use this thread as a good opportunity to make yourself known to the new Executive Committee so as they can pick their General Committee quickly.

If you would like to be involved on the Committee, please nominate yourself. If you think someone else would be great in a Committee role - please nominate them.

For a nomination to be valid it must be seconded by a current Club Member and the person must accept the nomination.
