The 2020 Annual General Meeting of the Positive Education Schools Association Ltd (ACN 168 259 096) (PESA) will be held:

The Notice of 2020 Annual General Meeting, which includes the AGM Agenda, is attached for your information.

Members are also referred to the following documents:

• Minutes of the PESA 2019 AGM;

In accordance with the Company’s constitution, the following Member-elected Directors will retire by rotation at the end of this AGM and their positions on the Board fall vacant:

• Mrs Anne Johnstone (PESA Chair)
• Ms Leonie Abbott
• Ms Joanne Alford 

All three have advised they intend to nominate for reappointment.

In addition, Mr Charlie Scudamore has advised the Chair that he will retire from the PESA Board from 20 October. Accordingly, his member-election position will also fall vacant.

Should you wish to nominate yourself, or another person, as a candidate for election as a Member-Elected Director, please read the attached Information for Director Nominees.

Please note that nominations must:

• be made in writing and signed by 2 Members; and
• include by the written consent of the nominee.

Nominations must be in the form of the attached proforma documents:

• Self-Nomination for Member-Elected Directorship, if you are self-nominating; or
• Nomination For Member-Elected Director, if you are nominating someone else.

The relevant form/s must then be delivered to me, as Company Secretary, at least 7 days prior to the AGM date.  Member-elected directors are usually appointed for a term of 3 years.

I also suggest nominees forward to me a nominee’s statement in support of the nomination, outlining the nominee’s background, qualifications and interest in serving on the PESA Board.

All forms must be delivered to me by 4pm on 12 October 2020.

If only four nominations are received those nominees will be automatically appointed as member-elected directors as from the end of the AGM.  If more than four nominations are received, a ballot will be conducted at the AGM.  The four nominees elected by ballot will be appointed as member-elected directors from the end of the AGM.

Nominees must be current Members of PESA and must remain Members at all times during which they hold office.

If you are unable to attend the AGM, you may appoint a proxy. To do so, please complete and sign the Pro-Forma Proxy Form and return it to me by email at by 4pm on 19 October 2020.  Forms received after this time will be invalid.
