On August 28th, serveral branch members communicated concerns to AEVA National regarding the elections held on August 13th. The AEVA National Executive has subsequently instructed NSW Branch to vacate all positions and conduct new elections.

Additional guidance was also provided by the National Executive.

In line with the constitution, a 21-day notice must be issued before holding new elections.

All nominations are to be confirmed at least one week prior to the meeting.
The meeting will be conducted online using AEVA’s Zoom facilities and polling features.

The returning officer will be a current AEVA member who is not a candidate for any role.

Members will have the opportunity to nominate a Proxy to vote on their behalf.
Only financial members will be eligible to vote.

Therefore, AEVA NSW Branch will hold a Special General Branch Meeting via Zoom, October 1st with nominations due by September 24th.

AEVA NSW members are encouraged to register to attend this Special General Meeting. Although registration is not technically essential, it is strongly encouraged. Non-registration will prolong the meeting because it will necessitate membership checking during the meeting.

The Zoom link may be found here. All those who register will be sent, on the day of the meeting, an e-mail containing the Zoom link.   

If you would like to nominate for a position on the AEVA Executive please email nominations to secretary@aeva.asn.au or secretary@nsw.aeva.asn.au.
