“That the amendments to Section 6.2.4 of the Isolated Children’s Parents’ Association of Western Australia (Inc) Constitution updated March 2022, as circulated, be adopted.”
This amendment takes away the need for Policy Objectives to be voted on at an Annual General Meeting or Annual Conference.
By voting on motions at Conference, delegates are setting the direction they require State Council to take in its advocacy for the coming year. It is therefore prudent for State Council to review these annually and update the Policy Objectives where required following Conference to reflect the motion outcomes rather than waiting until the next Conference to have the Policy Objectives voted on. By updating the Policy Objectives after Conference each year, the Objectives can be an immediate and direct reflection of the motion outcomes following Conference.
Any changes to the actual Policies will still be required to be voted on by delegates at State Conference, however, the Policy Objective review and updates should sit within the general function of State Council to reflect the outcomes of State Conference motions.
