Main Order of Business

The main order of business at the meeting will be the resolution to adopt a new Constitution:

“That the existing Rules of the Association be revoked and replaced by the form of Rules submitted to the Meeting and signed by the Chairperson for identification."


COTA SA is looking to change its Membership model. These changes require us to amend our Constitution. Concurrently, COTA SA is also taking this opportunity to include clauses that address the appointment of Board members and their terms of office. Many of these issues are not reflected in our current Constitution.

Available for review are:

As a separate process, we look forward to communicating directly with each of our members to explain what the change in membership means for you. This communication will occur at the time your membership is due for renewal.
