Change of Judge

From Mr J Sheppard (NSW)  To  Miss B Daines (NSW)

The Constitution was put to Members for a yes / no vote at the Dogs SA AGM on 20th March 2024

Motion Lost

65 Members present with 48.75 (49) votes required to pass the motion

Lost on a secret ballot of 48 votes for and 17 votes against

There were 7 members that spoke on the night.

It became evident the 2 points that need to be looked at are:-

• Vice President - Members want to vote for the Vice President and does not want this decision to be up to the elected Council
• Casual Vacancy - Members want to have a casual vacancy voted on by Members and not Council appointed (Casual vacancy can also be left until the next election)

Constitution amended from 9th April 2024 as per Members recommendation.

The amended Constitution will be presented to Members at the AGM on 26th March 2025.
