RGA SPECIAL MEETING - A Reminder

12th April 2011
Dear RGA member,
As you know, the AGM was held on 1st April and included on the agenda was an important item proposing three changes to the Constitution. The results were as follows:-
6a That all grades of membership should have equal voting rights at AGMs and Special Members Meetings, this to take place immediately, and that the Council shall amend the wording of the Constitution accordingly.
This was passed by the full members present unanimously.
6b That Full and Associate grades of membership be combined and called Exhibiting Members, that Affiliate Members be called Non-Exhibiting Members and that the Council shall amend the wording of the Constitution accordingly.
There was a consensus that Affiliate Members would like to continue with that name, so the motion was amended to allow for this and the amended resolution was passed by 33 votes in favour, none against and two abstentions.
6c That the Selection Committee to elect to Exhibiting Membership should consist of the RGA President, Chairman, and Exhibition Secretary and other persons eminent in the visual arts whom the Council shall invite, including other RGA members if appropriate and that The Council shall amend the wording of the Constitution accordingly.
There was insufficient time to consider this fully, so a Special Members Meeting is called to discuss it further and to reach a decision. This will take place on:-
Friday 6th May at 7-00 pm at Maiden Erlegh School in room M2.
We very much hope that you will be able to attend.
Yours sincerely
Anthony Wilder
