Calisthenics WA is so lucky to have such dedicated members of our sport, congratulations to all ๐๐ป
Last Wednesday, the Annual General Meeting was held at Midvale. Thank you to all who attended.
Congratulations to Jeanette Beckett (Vice President), Debbie McDonald (Secretary), Wessel Viljoen (Theatre Management Chairperson) and Karen Quinn (Rules and Regs Chairperson) on their appointments for the next two years.
The proposed changes to the CAWA Constitution were presented to the meeting and were accepted. Most changes were subtle revisions, grammatical corrections etc.
One of the major changes was to the composition of the Board. After recommendations put forward in the McLoughlin Review 2021, Member Surveys 2022 and the Board Review 2023 conducted by DLGSC the Board has been reduced to 10 voting members.
The Development Committee Chairperson, State Team Manager, CaliSkills Administrator and the State Development Team Manager will continue to report to the Board.
The Board is committed to doing what is best for our members and promoting and developing the sport of Calisthenics in Western Australia.
