AUSTRALIAN KITE SURFING ASSOCIATION INCORPORATED NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING Georges River 16ft Sailing Club, Botany Bay, New South Wales
Date: 15 Sep 2012 12:00 UTC+10:00

NOTICE is hereby given of the Annual General Meeting of AUSTRALIAN KITE SURFING ASSOCIATION INC. (AKSA) to be held on 15 September 2012 at Georges River 16ft Sailing Club, Botany Bay, New South Wales, commencing at 12.00pm.

The nature of the business of the meeting shall be:

1) Confirm the minutes of the previous Annual General Meeting

2) Committee report including overview of national restructure

3) Election of office bearers and ordinary committee members

4) Receive and consider financial statements as required under the Associations Incorporation Act 2009 (NSW)

5) In accordance with Special Resolution 1 passed at AKSA's 2011 Annual General Meeting, to consider and, if thought fit, pass each of the following resolutions as special resolutions:

a) THAT the committee is authorised to cease operations and cancel AKSA's incorporation in accordance with the Associations Incorporation Act 2009 (NSW);

b) THAT the committee may take all steps necessary to effect the cancellation of AKSA's incorporation; and

c) THAT all assets and funds of AKSA are transferred to Kite Boarding Australia Limited (KBA), following incorporation of that body, on the condition that all funds are to be used in accordance with KBA's objects and not to be paid to or distributed among the members of KBA.

The reason for the changes are to bring the organisational base of AKSA up to speed with all other similar sporting orgs (and others).
AKSA was pulled together originally; and administerd ever since; by a continually changing group of dedicated kiters who were prepared to put in the yards but who were not necessarily professionally versed in all the techno elements of organisational logistics. It has always been a simple "association incorporated".
Since the state KSA's came together in 2009 (or was it 08?) to create an AKSA which was for-ever onward to be administered by a board of one representative from each state KSA - making it a truly representative body of all Aust kiters - the states have managed to recruit AKSA reps who are far more organisationally savvy.
For the past 2 years the Board of state reps has been delving deeply into the structure of AKSA and have finally put together the most appropriate legal structure for a sporting organisation such as ours to adopt.
The adoption of this totally new AKSA framework is being celebrated by an equally new & up-to-date styled name.

AKSA is dead ALL HAIL Kiting Australia - long may she prevail.
Congrats to all the state KSA's & their reps for pulling this together.
You guys - and all those who passed before you Rock!

So which will it be KA or KBA?
