Annual General Assembly

About the ESNZ Annual General Assembly

The ESNZ Annual General Assembly acts as a platform for discussions, voting on any major decisions of ESNZ and the governance of the sport and is also an opportunity for you to meet and talk with people governing your sport in person.

The business which must be transacted at the AGA includes:

  • The Annual Report of ESNZ
  • Items of business of which notice has been given under Article 20.1.b
  • Election of the President and the Vice President
  • Appointment of the Auditor
  • Any alterations to the ESNZ Constitution

Each discipline is entitled to Nine Voting Delegates.

At this stage we request that attendance is limited to members of the ESNZ Board, Delegates, Staff, and invited guests.

Nominations are now open for the positions of President and Vice-President of ESNZ.  Nominations for President and Vice-President must be with the ESNZ Chief Executive no later than 5pm on 15th August 2023.  This is slightly less notice than usual.  The reason for this is that in navigating our way toward the intended adoption of a new constitution we have realised that we must still allow for the possibility that it is not adopted. The new constitution does not continue the roles of President and Vice President.  To allow for all possibilities, we must still seek nominations for these positions. The situation is unusual, and we apologise for this timing issue.

Please note that if the new Constitution is adopted at the Annual General Assembly, the role of President and Vice-President will no longer exist.
