UPDATE TO FTCA CONSTITUTION
A planned update to the FTCA constitution is to be put to the upcoming Annual General Meeting in April 2020 for acceptance.
The driver for an update to the Association’s Constitution came from the modernisation of the Tasmanian Government Model Rules Regulations [reference: Associations Incorporation (Model Rules) Regulations 2017]. The major changes include use of electronic banking and electronic (email) communication.
Changing the Constitution requires the acceptance of a special resolution at a general meeting of the Association. To be passed it requires the support of 75% of those present and eligible to vote. Our next general meeting is the AGM.
Key parts of the existing Constitution that remain unchanged include the basic objects and purposes of FTCA (ie why the Association exists) and the geographical area from which residents are eligible to be members.
