The Trade Show saw 27 companies exhibit this year with 6 companies unfortunately needing to pull out due to COVID
border restrictions. The Trade Exhibitors where able to network and do business with the delegates at each break
throughout the event. Putting faces to names, answering questions, providing advice and creating new contacts in the
industry. We thank all the trade exhibitors for their continued support.
                                                                                                   2021 LIWA Trade Show

Dear Member,

Over the past 6 months we have been working on a review of the Institute’s Constitution.
Our revised Constitution is clearer in its drafting whilst not altering the basic structure of the
Institute.

The proposed Constitution will be presented to members for adoption by way of Special
Resolution at the Annual General Meeting on 30 September 2021 at Royal Life Saving
12 McGillivray Rd Mt Claremont of via Zoom. However, we are keen to get any comments or
questions in relation to our revised Constitution before then, so they can be considered
before we give formal notice of the Special Resolution.

A copy of the proposed Constitution is available on the LIWA Website here together with a
table which explains the changes along with the reasoning for the changes.

We would welcome any questions or comments on the proposed Constitution as soon as
possible.

You can provide your comments and seek more information by email to LIWA Aquatics
info@liwaaquatics.org.au or Dr. Lianne Cretney-Barnes from Board Connexions whom we
commissioned to review and provide consutlation for the proposed changes.
0438 934 177 or email lianne@boardconnexions.com.au

We look forward to presenting our new Constitution for your consideration at our AGM in
September.

             Register for AGM attendance either in person or via Zoom here
