Annual General Meeting (AGM) 2018

Part of our club Constitution dictates that the club is required to hold an annual general meeting within five months after the end of the association's financial year which is by 30th November latest every year. This year's Rotary Club of Southbank's Annual General Meeting (AGM) was held on Tuesday 20th November 2018 at the Belgian Beer Cafe, Southbank whereby the election of the 2019-2020 board was conducted. This included the Presidents report (Immediate Past President Liam Jones) and Treasurer's report (Immediate Past Treasurer Amritpal Singh) from 2017-2018.

The following club members were elected to their respective roles for 2019-2020:

• President: Sally Page
• Immediate Past President: Amritpal Singh
• Vice President: Nicholas Kane
• President-Elect: Jasmin Dhillon
• Secretary: Past President Stuart McArthur
• Treasurer: Lilian Ndarukwa
• Director (Club Service): District Governor-Elect Philip Archer
• Director (Foundation): Past President Steven Aquilina
• Director (Community Service): Past President Liam Jones
• Director: Past President Wendy Bennett
   

The club also discussed about meeting frequency and confirmed to continue to meet every Tuesday night (as stated in our club ByLaws) with a combination of formal and informal meetings.

• The focus of having two formal meetings per month will continue as a way of ensuring that we maintain quality meetings with large attendances and high profile guest speakers.
• On intervening weeks, members can continue to meet at the Belgian Beer Café, Southbank to catch up, plan projects and ensure a regularity of meeting experience - this informal meeting is branded asSouthbank Conversations & Meetup.
• Members are encouraged to attend other district functions in addition to their own club commitments.
   

On behalf of the board and club, I'd like to thank the following observers for coming:

• President John Wall (Rotary Club of Melbourne South)
• Hao Teo (Founder & Managing Director of iDibs - Speaker for 26th March 2019)
