Board Of Management Structure & Election Processes
At the July Board Meeting the following structures and processes were confirmed as we move towards the next Annual Meeting of Goldfields FM, which is scheduled for Wednesday the 13th of August 2025.
The Timeline as we approach the Annual Meeting is as follows:
- Before July 30th – Training for prospective Board Members needs to be conducted before nominations can be accepted.
- August: Board of Management elections, if necessary, by an independent electoral process by postal vote.
- August: Annual Meeting on the 13th of August 2025.
Structure Of The Board Of Management
To maintain continuity while maximising member participation
- There will be an eight member Board of Management with eight elected positions.
- Prospective members of the Board of Management must undertake some training before the nomination process so that they are fully prepared to be members of the Board of Management, and must have been a financial member for at least 12 months.
- Regular monthly meetings of The Board of Management will be open to members, except for any confidential matters. The Board may need to conduct unscheduled special meetings from time to time.
- That the elected members of the Board of Management serve two year terms with four retiring one year and four retiring the next. Retiring members would be eligible for re- election.
- That the Board of Management can appoint a replacement for Board members who resign. Such appointments will be in place until the next Annual General Meeting.
- That the Board of Management can recruit advisors for short term specialised tasks when required.
This means that of the current Board of Management, Board Members…. Dan Leddin, Robyn Hunter & Gordon Pettingel will continue into the second year of their terms. Five new Board Members will need to be elected for two year positions.
Attached are two documents you may wish to use, a Board Nomination form and a quick survey.
Please download and print them and return to us either by dropping into the Radio Station, in the Community Hub, or email info@goldfieldsfm.org.au.
