UNIFICATION – New draft company constitution
Secretaries
Our respective organisations unanimously passed Board resolutions over the Easter break to endorse a unified structure and progress the Unification Process to the member vote.
With the upcoming vote by members approaching, we would like to provide all Club, Zone and District representatives with an opportunity to review the draft Constitution of the new entity, Bowls New South Wales Limited.
If you would like to provide any feedback, we have attached a form to assist in structuring responses, and given the timelines we are working towards, all feedback will need to be received by midnight on Wednesday April 14.
All feedback must be submitted to unification@bowlsnsw.com.au.
