Issues to be considered:

  • Liquids
  • Power near liquids
  • Large power draw
  • Large, heavy, awkward items
  • Heat
  • Chemicals
  • Gases
  • Noise
  • Rubbish

Please add any issues and your solution on a single row each. Add as many as required.

NOMINATION FORM

To be submitted by 26th March 2025

APCH Committee Nomination Process

Nominations for the AGM are now open and will close on Wednesday 26th March 2025

The APCH Committee is one of the best committees to which I have belonged. Everyone works well together and we get things done efficiently. Because Executive Committee members can only hold their role for x3 years maximum, and I have also served a fourth year, at the upcoming AGM we will need to fill the role of President with a new incumbent. Please have a chat with anyone in your group that you think could undertake the role and provide them with the information about the role and skill requirements of the position. 

The other x3 executive office holders were elected in 2023 so could serve another year if they are willing to continue in their current roles. Nominations for all executive positions are open prior to the AGM.

Each member group must also nominate a committee representative. Please ensure that:

  • the member group actively chooses and nominates its representative, and nominations are not just from an individual member
  • nominations for any of the office bearers positions come actively from the member group and not just an individual.  
  • anyone who is nominated has been formally asked and agreed to the nomination.

Thanks,

Heather Morton

President

APCH Inc
