EAMBA Rules update - review and feedback session

Our current EAMBA Rules (constitution) haven't been updated since 2008. It is recommended to update these rules every 3-5 years. Because these updates haven't been done regularly, our current Rules vary greatly from the Consumer Affaris Victoria (CAV) 'Model Rules for an Incorporated Association'  2012 template that is recommended to be used by CAV and AMBA.  In fact some mandatory rules are either not included or are significantly different to the current recommended wording.

The proposed Rules have been written with input and feedback from our 2023 and 2024 committee, an external consultant, and AMBAs Governance Officer, Daila Mohr.  Members of our committee have reviewed the AMBA Rules and other affiliate clubs' rules; and are confident that these proposed Rules mirror these examples.

The final edit of these Rules will be sent out late this month to be voted on by members at our April AGM.

So what do we need from you?

We are hosting this meeting for our members to hear about the changes and provide feedback before the final version is sent out later this month. It is important to consult with our members on this document.

Whether you can attend this session or not, you are welcome to submit feedback in writing to secretary@eamba.amba.org.au. All feedback should be submitted in the form of:

• Rule Number
• Current wording
• Proposed wording

Feedback should be submitted by midday on Tuesday 12th March so that your feedback can be discussed at the meeting.

Further feedback will then be accepted until end of day Saturday 16th March so that we can send a final draft to AMBA for review.

In order for us to cover as many items as possible in this meeting we ask all attendees to read the attached and send feedback prior to the meeting. We will then prioritise discussion on the areas with the most feedback.
