SCANZ constitution

SCANZ was required to update its rules of incorporation to bring them into line with the new legislation for incorporated societies.

The Act provided for us to entirely replace our rules with a new constitution in this situation, allowing us to remove entrenched clauses, that we otherwise couldn't change.

The Companies Office very helpfully produced a Constitution Builder to assist societies in creating compliant constitutions, and this was used to create this new constitution.

Information that is still relevant and lawful from our previous rules was included in this new constitution, but we had to make some changes to become compliant with the new legislation. You can see where all the changes have come from here

1. Introductory rules
2. Members
3. General meetings
4. Committee
5. Committee meetings

Officerness

• Officers of Incorporated Societies - Who's an officer of the society (in the Inc Soc sense)
• Officer exclusions - Why can't someone have these two roles? Work in progress.
