Organisation

The Film & Television Institute’s Annual General Meeting will be held at our premises at 92 Adelaide Street, Fremantle on Wednesday 14 April 2010. Registrations commence at 6.30 pm with the meeting scheduled to start at 7.00 pm.

An agenda for the AGM has already been mailed to all members with the official notice of meeting. Additional copies are available on request from the FTI office.

FTI has received three nominations for the five vacancies on the FTI Board. They are current Directors Cassie Rowe and Marjolein Towler who have come to the end of their two-year term and appointed Director Chris James who is eligible to stand for election. Information on these nominees is here

Lisa Bradock and David Smith were elected for a two year term on the FTI Board at the 2009 AGM and will continue in office. Although the nominations are less than the number of vacancies the Constitution requires that a secret ballot is held at the AGM to confirm those elected to the Board. We remind you that there is no provision in the FTI Constitution to allow absentee votes or proxies, meaning that you will need to attend the meeting in person to be able to vote. Also, the Constitution does not allow nominations to be accepted at the meeting.

Appointed Directors James Turnbull and Jeremy Emms (who are not members of FTI) are required to relinquish their appointment at this meeting. Both have indicated that they are willing to continue their involvement on the Board and their re-appointment will be considered by the incoming Board at the first meeting following the AGM.

Copies of the Annual Report for 2009 and the minutes of the 2009 AGM are available on request from the FTI office. They will also be available at the meeting.

Members who have been Financial Members on or before 14 March 2010 are eligible to vote at the meeting.

We urge all current Financial Members to support the FTI Board and staff members by making every effort to attend the meeting and have an input to the discussion about the future direction of the Institute. Light refreshments and a short highlights screening will be held after the meeting.
