About this event
Have your say on the new ACS constitution!
We welcome ACS Canberra members to participate in the third and final stage of the constitutional reform workshops. Now is the time to provide your input into how the ACS is run in the future.
This third round workshop is all about the elements that make up a constitution.
Meetings will focus on the elements that you, and other participants, see as the important ones.
A set of documents will be released on 3 February, providing background information, and identifying what we suspect the key items might be.
Meetings will generally run for an hour, with a lead-in provided, to make sure that all participants are oriented to the session's aims.
The project as a whole began in September last year. Background information on the overall aims, and the first round of consultation and its outcomes, can be found below.
About the constitutional process
The consultation process was initiated by ACS Congress, and is being run by the Constitutional Reform Working Group (CRWG), jointly convened by Dr Nick Tate (now the Society's President) and Dr Roger Clarke.
- Three rounds of consultation are scheduled.
- The first ran September to December 2021, and discussed principles.
