ENT strongly encourage all members to attend the meeting and vote by proxy or in person. It is encouraged that members that members login and vote early using a special proxy. Voting early and by way of special proxy will make conducting of the poll more time and cost efficient.
ENT supports the DOCA from the Administrators which proposes to:
- Facilitate changes to EA Constitution to allow for ‘one member, one vote’
- Appoint a new, independent rolling board for EA
ENT does not support the DOCA being proposed by the 5 State Branches as it does not address the issues being raised by the key stakeholders and members. It is not sufficient to regain the financial support of Sports Australia which is necessary to return FEI affiliation and AOC accreditation.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask them via email to [email protected] or phone 0497 303 535. Alternatively, they can be emailed to KordaMentha at [email protected]
