2026 AGM INFORMATION

Annual General Meeting (AGM)

Our AGM is being held on Thursday the 26th of November, 6:00pm in the Clubrooms.

Under our new constitution, which was approved and implemented at our last AGM, we require 30 members in attendance to proceed with the meeting. If we don’t reach this number, the meeting will need to be adjourned to another date.

We’re specifically asking for your help to make up those numbers. If you’re available, please consider coming along and supporting your club. You don’t need to be on the committee or have any intention of joining, simply being there makes a difference.

We know that attending an AGM has sometimes felt a little daunting, thanks to the classic club joke that if you turn up, you’ll get voted onto the committee! 

Thankfully, our updated constitution has changed this process. Committee nominations are no longer made from the floor at the AGM and must be submitted ahead of time. So, you can come along, have your say, and support the club without worrying about being unexpectedly volunteered!

Committee Vacancies

We currently have several vacancies on our committee, including:

  • President
  • Vice President
  • Coaching Coordinator
  • Junior Liason
  • Sponsorship and Grants
  • Southern Football delegates
  • Club-based referee liaison
  • Events
  • Other committee roles

What’s the commitment?

  • A committee meeting approximately every three weeks.
  • The busiest period is November through to April, which means much of the committee’s work happens during the football off-season. If you’re worried about balancing committee responsibilities with playing, this could be the perfect opportunity!
  • A willingness to lend a hand and support others in their roles when needed.

What are we looking for?

You’ll need to bring:

  • A high level of confidentiality.
  • A good sense of humour.
  • The ability to look at the bigger picture of the club, rather than focusing solely on your own team or individual aspirations.
  • A willingness to have constructive discussions, even when people disagree with you, and the ability not to take those disagreements personally.

Being on the committee is about working together to make Green Island AFC a better club for everyone. If this sounds like you, please complete the committee expression-of-interest form by Wednesday the 11th of November 6:00pm, here; https://forms.gle/ziVdi3vXHqCtfyePA 

An existing committee member will then contact you by phone to have a chat and provide more information.

AGM Agenda Items

If you have an item you’d like considered at the AGM, it must be submitted ahead of time.

Please email your agenda items to president.giafc@gmail.com by Wednesday the 4th of November, 6:00pm.

Under our constitution, agenda items cannot be raised from the floor at the AGM unless there is unanimous agreement from those in attendance.

Life member nominations must also be submitted by Wednesday the 11th of November, 6:00pm here; https://forms.gle/YFDfHzw9rJqrGiPf6 

Please make sure you get your nominations in before the deadline!

We hope to see plenty of you at the AGM!

Green Island AFC
