The constitution is amended to allow the Victorian Women Lawyers Association and the Women Barristers Association (both residing in Victoria) to be Directors of the Association at the same time (and hence be eligible for appointment as President, Vice President, Secretary or Treasurer at the same time) without diluting the equal voting rights of each State and Territory at Board meetings.
The constitution is amended to delete reference to provisions of the corporations legislation which no longer exist; allowing meetings to occur as stated in s 248D and s 249S of the Corporations Act 2001; in order to better reflect the current practice of the Board, expressly allowing resolutions to occur by e-mail and deleting the requirement for the Secretary to conduct and hold all correspondence.
