THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
2020 EVENT
The Annual General Meeting of the Australian War Widows NSW Ltd will be held on Thursday, 27 August 2020 in Sydney. Below you can find the Notice of the 2020 Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum.
As a result of COVID-19 we must exercise caution when organising events. Due to this, the Board of Directors has decided to conduct the AGM via Zoom video conferencing this year. The reasons for using a digital platform to hold the AGM are as follows:
1. Virtual meetings have been identified as in the ‘lowest risk’ category for individuals wanting to attend meetings.
2. Due to current health guidelines in place by the NSW Government, we are not able to accommodate members’ safety in the meeting and via transport.
3. NSW Health advises that elderly people remain at a higher risk for severe complications arising from COVID-19. As a result, we have adapted our meeting format accordingly.
Below you can find instructions on how to call into the AGM or join by Zoom video conferencing. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact head office and we will do our very best to assist you.
Please note: Only Financial Members can vote at the AGM.
