President Joanne and Company Secretary Theresa announce that nominations for SISEAP Company Directors are now open.
Nominations opened on the 13th April and close on the 24th of April
To ensure we have a good breadth of skills across the Directors, we have skill deficits in the areas of Marketing, Grant Writing, Fundraising and Publicity. The successful applicants will take office after a special general meeting on 23 May 2026 and in the first instance, serve for three years, renewable to a maximum of nine years.
SISEAP has nine Directors and one third must retire each year. According to the Corporations Act, at each annual general meeting, any Director appointed by the Directors to fill a casual vacancy or as an additional Director must retire, and at least one-third of the remaining Directors must retire. Under our Constitution, the Immediate Past President automatically retires after one year in that position and is replaced by the new President Elect. At the end of her biennium, the President remains for one year as Immediate Past President and a Director.
It is a legal requirement that you have a Director Identification Number before you can be appointed, and we will only consider applicants that have already obtained their Director Identification Number. Refer to the Australian Business Registry website for further information here:
