What does sushi and your clubs constitution have in common? The Dumbleyung CRC! On Thursday November 3 the Dumbleyung CRC hosted a free constitution workshop to help local clubs and committees with the changes required as per the Associations Incorporation Act 2015.

Wheatbelt Business Network Executive Officer, Caroline Robinson, facilitated the workshop with over 15 people attending from a variety of clubs. The session was extremely useful and interactive with scenarios for all to discuss and information to share with their committees. Along came Henry Café kept everyone full with sushi, gourmet bruschetta and salmon bites, quiche and an assortment of sweet treats.

Couldn’t attend? A few tips from the Constitution Workshop for all clubs and committees,

• Register your club/committee with the Department of Commerce via Associations Online
• Add ‘Conflict of Interest’ to every agenda if you don’t do so already
• Visit ourcommunity.com for useful tips and information
• Remember to provide a scope when you have the clubs books audited, what is it that you would like them to look for?

If any clubs want to know more about the changes or have governance questions feel free to contact the Dumbleyung CRC. Or if your club would like someone to review or re-write their constitution this service is available at the CRC for an hourly fee, members receive discounted rate!
