Annual General Meeting 2025

Ecotourism Australia invites you to attend our Annual General Meeting (AGM) at 11 am AEST on Monday, 20 October 2025, hosted online via Zoom. This is an important opportunity for members to engage in the governance of our organisation and shape its future direction.At this year’s AGM, the Board of Ecotourism Australia will present a proposed new Constitution for member approval.
 
The proposed Constitution has been designed to:
  • Introduce a balanced structure of member-elected Directors (maximum 5) and Board-appointed Directors (maximum 4)
  • Update Director terms from 2 years to 3 years, with a maximum of two terms (6 years total)
  • Meet current regulatory requirements for a Company Limited by Guarantee
  • Be modernised and contemporary to meet Ecotourism Australia’s strategic imperatives and our objectives
  • Provide a streamlined and concise governance framework.
 
As required under the Corporations Act 2001, the new Constitution must be formally adopted by members through a special resolution at the AGM. This means that at least 75% of members present and voting will need to support the resolution for it to pass. Your vote is therefore important in shaping the future governance of Ecotourism Australia. The draft Constitution is available for download below.
 
We have an Expression of Interest (EOI) for Directors for the Ecotourism Australia board. Please note that while EOIs will be open, no new Directors will be appointed before the AGM.
 
Your participation is vital to ensure our governance reflects the strength, professionalism and sustainability goals of our membership.
 
Thank you for your continued support of Ecotourism Australia. We look forward to your involvement at the AGM.
