Special Resolution – General Meeting – 05 June 2021

Goolawah Co-operative Rules:

Proposed Amendment to Rule 45 – General Meetings

Change from:

Rule 45 d. The board may, whenever it considers appropriate, call a special general meeting of the cooperative, outside of the scheduled monthly general meeting.

Amend to:

Rule 45 d. The board may, whenever it considers appropriate, call a special general meeting of the cooperative.

Rationale:

At the May General Meeting the frequency of General Meetings was discussed. Members present leaned towards having General Meetings every second month. To implement this, we need to amend Rule 45 d by deleting “outside of the scheduled monthly general meeting”.
