Janet / Wednesday, 22 February 2023 / Categories: Latest News, Associations ASGA appoints Lisa Michalanney as South Australian Chair Australian Sign & Graphics Association (ASGA) recently held its 2023 AGM and a Special General Meeting in Perth, with members from across the country attending online. West Australian members who attended in person had the opportunity to network, and meet the ASGA Directors in person. The 2023 Executive Committee and regional state committees were confirmed, with Lisa Michalanney voted in as the new South Australian Chair, while other committee members remain unchanged from 2022: Mick Harrold (President, Victoria Chair), Damian Nielsen (Vice President, Queensland Chair), Marc Martello (Treasurer, New South Wales Chair) and Wade French (Western Australia Chair). The AGM included a review of 2022 and upcoming plans for 2023 across the finance, membership, marketing and communications areas, and presentations were given by ASGA Advisors, Warwick Ryan and Glenn Hain on employment law and building code changes. While presenting a review of 2002, Harrold commented that while the activities of the past year had resulted in a net loss for the year, the activities were necessary, saying “2022 was about continuing to build foundations to enable the ASGA to move forward and effect change.” “ASGA is gaining momentum, with a lot of the back end items are now done,” he concluded. Harrold thanked ASGA sponsors and outgoing South Australian Chair Julie Rochester for their contributions, noting that the ASGA was in a better position for Julie being involved. A Special General Meeting followed the AGM where changes to ASGA’s constitution was passed by members. “Updating ASGA’s constitution was one of the back end items that was important for us to address,” Harrold said as he addressed those in attendance at the Special General Meeting. “This will now be in line with other model constitutions. We cleaned up ambiguous clauses and increased the range of membership classes, both important for management of the association for current and future Directors.” The new constitution will now be registered with NSW Fair Work.
