MEMBERSHIP
How do people become financial members of our P&C?
By paying the prescribed annual subscription (membership fee) of $1 to the Treasurer or nominee and their name recorded in the register of members by the Secretary. The register of members is updated at the close of a General Meeting and the close of the Annual General Meeting. The new member will be able to have voting rights in the following meeting. Any membership requests received between meetings will become financial at the end of the following meeting.
What are the benefits of a financial membership?
-
A financial member is able to participate in the democratic decision-making processes of the P&C Association.
-
A financial member can be nominated and can hold an official position on the P&C.
-
A financial member who ‘consents’ to becoming a member of the organisation earns the rights and obligations under the law that regulates our P&C (ie. Federation of P&C Association NSW) and our own SIHS P&C Constitution.
