Cyberbullying – Definition
The Board advises:
“Complaints have been received concerning inappropriate emails published to individuals and the community.
To understand what is considered Cyberbullying the board reviewed various websites and definitions online. The board agreed that NSW Police has a clear definition for use in deciding a case of cyberbullying, and can therefore be defined as bullying under the Code of Conduct.
Attached is a link to the police website defining Cyberbullying“.

Voting for Directors at AGM – Sat 03 October 2020
All members are encouraged to participate in the governance of our Co-op. Serving as a Director is a responsibility and a privilege. At our Annual General Meeting we will be voting in our seven directors for the upcoming year.
Current Directors are Craig, Trinh, Wayne S, Dan, Peter O, Kevin and Nick.
All directors retire at each annual general meeting prior to the calling of nominations for new directors. A retiring director is eligible for re-election without nomination. (Rule 33). Nominations are made at the meeting. The seven director nominees receiving the most votes are elected.
If you’re interested in becoming a Director, a good starting point is to check out the Members section of our website, under Policies, where you’ll find a one-page outline of ‘Directors Role and Responsibilities’. If you would like more information, please contact any current director, who would be happy to share their experience.
Like last year, in order for members to have a sense of what a prospective director can contribute, before voting we will ask them to speak for a minute or so about themselves, and what they might bring to the Co-op through the role of director.
If you would like to stand for Director but will not be able to attend the AGM, send a note to the secretary or give it to another member so you can be nominated, plus a short written statement of your intentions and ideas about what you could offer to the role. These will be read by the Chairperson.
