The 2024 Annual General Meeting was successful.
Thanks to those members that attended the meeting, especially those who have volunteered to hold an office in CAAS or to be a Committee Member.
The results of those elections are below.
At its first meeting for 2023 the Art Society's Management Committee expressed members' sympathy to the family and friends of Elaine Cooper on her recent death; recognised her contribution to CAAS and progressed the organisation of a comprehensive exhibition of her artwork at the Art Shed.
Farewell, Elaine
IMPORTANT
Special CAAS General Meeting Sunday 27 November 2022, 2 pm
The purpose of Special General Meeting is to amend The CAAS constitution.
This will assist in our application to register THE CENTRAL AUSTRALIAN ART SOCIETY INCORPORATED) (ABN 82 929 959 908) as a charity with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC).
Background
The Federal Government is requiring Incorporated Associations to become registered as a charity to maintain the Tax Deductibility status we currently can offer to donors.
The Special General Meeting will be asked to approve a special resolution to change the
‘Objects and Purposes’ of the Association in the CAAS Constitution.
The current Object and Purposes is:-
"The advancement of art and artists in Central Australia"
The proposed new Object and Purposes is:-
"The Central Australian Art Society Inc. is established to be a charity whose purpose is to advance the culture of Central Australian people by providing for the instruction, participation, development and promotion of visual art."
A copy of the revised constitution is available at the ArtShed.
I hope that many members and supporters can come, or at least register a proxy vote with me, to ensure a quorum and enable the change to happen.
