*Annual General Meeting*
Archery Victoria conducted its 2016 AGM on Saturday the 17th of December. At this meeting nominations that had been received as per the AV policy were considered for appointment to the AV Board as Board Member 2, Board Member 4, & Board Member 6 (Members Representative).
These positions were voted upon by those Club Presidents (or proxies) attending the meeting, and the successful appointees were Brendan Jones (BM2), Alec Potts (BM4), and Alan Howell (BM6 - MR).
Subsequent to this meeting the Board Members met to allocate the administrative roles with the aim of assigning Board Members to the roles best suiting the range of skills and expertise available. This is done democratically, and the decisions in each case were unanimous.Positions on theArchery Victoria Boardfor 2017 will be:
Peter Bennett (Board Member 1) - President
Guenter Licht (Board Member 3) - Vice President

Once this role is filled we will look within AV for members willing and able to become part of and contribute to this Committee.
