Board Nominations:


Governance Principle – Board Composition and Operation

There is strong evidence that diversity on Boards leads to better corporate performance. The position of the SA Office of Recreation, Sport and Racing is that each State Sporting Organisation should seek to achieve a target of a minimum of 40% representation of each gender. This target is pursued and encouraged.

(The State Government is moving to mandate the gender make-up of Boards of sporting associations. The intention and ultimate goal is for Boards to comprise 40% male, 40% female and 20% optional. In ARCHERY SA’s case, the Board comprises five Elected Board Members and two Appointed Board Members, for a total of seven. This will under the 40/40/20 requirement equate to 3 male and 3 female, with one extra. The Board welcomes and encourages nominations from female members for the two vacancies and two appointed positions. If you wish to contribute positively to archery in South Australia, please apply!)

* Persons elected at the AGM as Directors will be elected for 2 years, except that at least 2 of the 5 elected Directors must retire at the following AGM and may be eligible for re-election.

The Constitution (at 11.4) provides:

(d) At least two of the Elected Directors must retire every year. If the number of Elected Directors whose term ends in any one year (Retiring Directors) is less than two then an additional number of the Elected Directors who are not due to retire (Non-Retiring Directors) must retire to make up the quota.

(e) If the Non-Retiring Directors cannot agree on which of the Non-Retiring Directors will retire, it will be determined by ballot.
