Expressions of Interest for NSW Delegates to AERA
Since NSWERA as an Association is a member of AERA, we need delegates to represent the Association. The purpose of the delegates is to attend and vote at AERA General Meetings, in particular the AERA Annual General Meeting. Delegate positions are separate to the Management Committee members. Our delegates are also encouraged to attend AERA Management Committee meetings, as observers and contributors, but do not have a vote at Management Committee meetings. AERA meetings have the option to attend electronically.
The SMC is asking for expressions of interest from 2022 financial senior members who are interested in nominating for a delegate position. If more expressions of interest are received than positions available, the delegates will be chosen from the expressions of interest by random draw.
Elsewhere in this newsletter and the AGM booklet is an Expression of Interest form. Anyone wishing to lodge an expression of interest must complete this form. Please include your name, membership number, a brief description of your involvement with endurance riding and reasons for wishing to fill a delegate position. Please sign the form.
