AGS Ltd officially became an unlisted public company on 20 January 2025 under our new Constitution.
One of the fundamental governance requirements is to conduct annual elections for all Board positions across a 3-year rotating cycle.
Accordingly, we are now calling for nominations amongst eligible members up to 11.59pm on Wednesday 25 February 2026 for two Board positions that will run for three years until the end of our 2029 AGM.
Eligibility
The AGS Ltd Constitution (2024) provides the following criteria for eligibility for the Board of Directors under Clause 19.1:
Elected Directors of the Board must be:
- A current financial AGS member for at least two financial years immediately prior to their nominating year;
- An eligible “Voting Member”; and
- A member of a “Chapter Committee Executive” for at least 18 months within the past six financial years prior to their nomination year; or,
- A member or invited member of the National Committee or National Stakeholders Group within the preceding eight financial years; or,
- A member who has made unique and outstanding contributions to the Company over the preceding twenty years through their technical or organisational leadership as determined by a majority vote in the NSG.
Documentation required for nomination submission
You will be required to provide the following documentation as part of your self-nomination process.
- A declaration of interest, of up to two pages length. The declaration should commence with a statement of eligibility to the criteria noted below, or similarly a request for consideration under Rule 19.1 clause (e).
- A CV of up to two pages that includes relevant work and AGS experience.
Please note that for all candidates confirmed as being eligible for nomination, the above submissions will be shared with the AGS membership through the website to inform voting.
Election Logistics
These two Board positions will be officially vacated at the end of our upcoming AGM on Friday 27 March 2026 in Adelaide SA. They are currently held by:
- Tim Thompson – eligible to stand for re-election 2026-29;
- David Lacey – ineligible to re-nominate due to term limits.
If we receive more than two nominations for these two positions, there will be an online election process amongst all eligible AGS voters. This election would run 2-16 March 2026. Successful candidates will be invited to attend the 2026 AGM in Adelaide as Observers and take up their role at the conclusion of the official AGM meeting.
Commitment Required
The minimum expectations of elected AGS Board Members will include:
- Attendance at a three day AICD course on ‘Fundamentals of Directorship’ with follow-up assessment at the earliest opportunity. Registration/logistical costs will be provided by the AGS, but the Board member will be responsible for coordinating the required attendance time with their employer.
- Attendance at AGS’ semi-annual (in-person) and regular (online) meetings:
- Two full-day in-person meetings, with logistical costs provided by the AGS; and
- Remote attendance at monthly Board meetings
The AGS encourages all interested and eligible members to submit a nomination by the deadline noted above.
We appreciate your support and participation.
