[ASC-list] Notice of ASC National AGM - Tue 27 Nov, Brisbane, Queensland

[Sarah Lau]

Further to the previous notice via email, the official notice of the ASC AGM 2012 and the relevant papers, including minutes from the 2011 meeting, agenda for 2012 and the proposed Constitutional amendment are available on the ASC website: http://wp.me/p1Zzkn-emj.

Please note that any nominations for President must be received by Tuesday 20 November 2012. These must have the agreement of the person being nominated. This role will change significantly with the introduction of the General Manager position, and therefore we encourage any members who may be interested to discuss the role further with a member of the National Executive.

Please also note proxies must be received by Tuesday 27 November. These may go to any ASC member as a proxy holder, however, the proxy holder must agree, the proxy must be indicated in writing (email is sufficient) and the National Secretary must still be notified of the proxy. Alternatively, members are welcome to email their proxy to Sarah Lau, National Secretary via slau at chemcentre.wa.gov.au.
