The VERA SMC have been monitoring the Covid situation as well as staffing issues at the Seymour Club venue and have decided to run the AGM at an outdoor location. The AGM and Presentations will now be held at the Ag Pavilion, Kings Park, Tallarook Road, Seymour.

Registration for attendance will commence at 1.30 pm with the AGM to start at 2.00 pm. The Presentations will commence immediately after the AGM is completed.


The VERA SMC would like to advise that all AGM papers have now been emailed
or snail mailed out.  If you have not received a copy,  all paperwork can be
downloaded from the VERA website at the following link:
2021 VERA Annual General Meeting

If you are unable to attend the AGM and would like to register an apology
please contact the VERA Secretary, Mezcal Manners.  

We all look forward to catching up with you, sharing some good discussions
and socialising afterwards.

The VERA AGM was held on Saturday at the Landsborough Recreation Reserve. Despite ordinary weather earlier in the morning the day was beautiful and warm and an outdoor AGM location was perfect.

There wasn't a huge turn up of members but that didn't stop the good, in depth discussions and contributions on the agenda items.

 

The VERA SMC have sent out the notification of the AGM location and date along with the Nomination Form and the form for listing any business for discussion on the AGM Agenda. These have either been emailed or mailed out so please keep your eyes out for this communication.

Attached are the forms. If you wish to nominate for the SMC or list items for discussion, please complete the forms and return to our VERA Secretary (contact details on the website).

The VERA SMC would like to provide some advice on Proxy Voting at the AGM for the information of members.

Proxy voting is permitted at an AGM and Proxy Voting Forms will be sent with the AGM Agenda. Proxy votes must be received by the VERA Secretary, Ellen Prestage, if sent electronically or by mail, no less than 24 hours before the start time of the agenda. Any Proxy votes received via these mediums after the minimum 24 hours will be declared invalid.

Proxy votes can be handed to the Chair of the meeting prior to the start of the meeting. Voting by proxy is not permitted for the election of Committee members. A member can only hold 5 proxy votes. All proxy votes will be scrutinised to ensure that the person providing the proxy is a member and that the person holding the proxy is also a member.
