Proposal to Amend the Rules of the Association
Background During the period February 2008 to June 2008, the EGRCMN facilitated a Rainforest Restoration and Indigenous Training Project. The project involved the employment of an Indigenous Work Crew from Lake Tyers who undertook long term restoration activities at EGRCMN rainforest sites, whilst at the same time they were fulfilling learning outcomes required in gaining their Certificates in Natural Resource Management. The success of the project resulted from the significant contributions made by the Indigenous Work Crew.
At the EGRCMN Committee Meeting of 24th July 2008, a motion was moved that the Indigenous Work Crew members become honorary members of the EGRCMN. The motion was carried unanimously, however it was noted that the ‘Rules of the Association’ would require amendment to allow this to happen.
In accordance with the Rules of the Association the following motion is presented to the Annual General Meeting for consideration.
“That the Rules of the Association be amended to allow a person to be made an honorary member of the EGRCMN subject to the approval of the Committee.”
