Proposed changes to our by-laws include the creation of national Voting Representative(s) in case DA Australia membership ever exceeds 5,000. This will allow us to fully exercise the number of votes afforded to DA Australia for international DA meetings. Other changes are revisions to deadline for when we hold our AGM.
