Thank you for having your say. WES members are being asked to vote on three separate changes to our Constitution, each designed to help the Society grow and to make sure we are ready to do more. Please vote on each change below.
Voting closes on 30/09/2026 and the outcome will be shared once all the votes are counted.
The vote takes about two minutes.
If you know it, it helps us confirm your vote. Leave blank if you are not sure.
This opens Council to the best people wherever they live. It replaces the current geographic limit with a safeguard so that no single Area may hold a majority of the votes on Council.
Current wording: no more than three Council members from the same Area may serve concurrently, and only two may vote.
Proposed wording: no single Area may hold a majority of the recorded votes on Council at any one time.
A small change so the Chair stays impartial and votes only to break a tie, rather than holding both an ordinary vote and a casting vote.
This creates a dedicated Council role to support, welcome and grow our volunteers, so they always have a voice at the top table.
