How to join online

You can join us online by signing up here. 

The meeting will take place on Zoom. 

 

If you cannot attend - please vote, its important!

Please complete a proxy vote if you are unable to attend and you are a full member (Disabled person). You can complete a proxy vote form here.

A proxy vote form allows you to cast a vote even if you cannot be there or allow the chair to vote on your behalf.

Proxy votes help us to meet our quorum* for the meeting. It is also really helps the meeting to run smoothly if we have as many proxy votes as possible. 

 

*What is a quorum? A quorum is a minimum number of members needed for us to conduct official business, such as voting or making decisions. 

 


What will take place

The AGM will start from 11:30am. During the event we will:

  • Hear from our Chair Estifanos about what we have achieved over the past year and how we will work together going forward.
  • Hear from our Treasurer Eekeen about what we spent our money on. 
  • Our Vice Chair Amanda will ask members to vote on changes and make approvals.
  • Our CEO and DCEO will say thank you and farewell to Amanda on behalf of all members, trustees and staff.  
  • Our Trustee Sarah will share a case study about an Access Champions success.

 

We will then have a short break and a free hot lunch from Naan-Tastic (local restaurant in Mitcham) will be served. Vegetarian options will be available.

 

From 12:15pm, at My Voice Matters we will: 

  • Discuss the barriers we are currently facing in the Disabled community.
  • Collaborate on creative ways we can challenge these barriers.
  • Reflect on ways that we can take action after the event.  

 

There will be access support available on the day:

  • BSL Interpreters
