RIGHTS TO VOTE AND ATTEND MEETINGS / DIRECTOR ELIGIBILITY
Full and Country Members
Full and Country Members are Voting Members and are entitled to receive notice of, attend and vote at meetings of SACA. The SACA Constitution requires that Member Elected Directors on the SACA Board must be Full or Country Member at all times during their appointment. A Full Member is therefore eligible to nominate for and hold office as a Member Elected Director (subject to the relevant person also meeting to other Director eligibility requirements set out in the Constitution and Corporations Act).
Adult Reserved Seat Members
Adult Reserved Seat Members are Voting Members and are entitled to receive notice of, attend and vote at meetings of SACA. However, given the SACA Constitution currently requires that Member Elected Directors on the SACA Board must be a Full or Country Member at all times during their appointment, an Adult Reserved Seat Member is not eligible to nominate for or hold office as a Member Elected Director at this time.
Should an Adult Reserved Seat Member wish to hold office as a Member Elected Director, they would therefore first need to apply to revert to Full or Country Membership.
SACA Big Bash Members
SACA Big Bash Members are not Voting Members and are not entitled to receive notice of, attend and vote at meetings of SACA. They are also not eligible to hold office as a Member Elected Director on the SACA Board.
