On behalf of the NZSCC Committee, we would like to invite all current members to our annual AGM to be held during our conference at the InterContinental Wellington. We also give notice of some proposed alterations to our current Society Constitution and rules.


When:     Friday 1st August 2025
Time:       9:10am
Where:    Trinity Wharf, Tauranga

The AGM is an important constitutional gathering of NZSCC members to hear about the progress of the Society as well as recent and on-going developments. The meeting also provides a forum for members to put forward their ideas for the future of the Society. A quorum of 20% of our members is required to hold the AGM.

On 5 October 2023, the Incorporated Societies Act 2022 (the 2022 Act) came into force. Our society is incorporated under the Incorporated Societies Act 1908 and we need to reregister under the 2022 Act in order to remain as an incorporated society. This requires us to review our constitution to ensure it complies with the 2022 Act and is a great opportunity to make changes where needed. An updated constitution has been created to comply to the legislation.

Any current paid members wishing to propose any amendments to the constitution must put this notice in writing and send to the Secretary no less than 14 days before the AGM. Please find link below to access and review the current constitution:
