Running an AGM – Keeping Your Club on Track

An Annual General Meeting (AGM) is a vital event for every incorporated sporting organisation. It provides transparency to members, reviews achievements and finances, and renews leadership roles through elections

Why It Matters
  • Compliance: Incorporated associations are legally required to hold an AGM each year.
  • Leadership Renewal: Elect or confirm key office bearers—Chair, Deputy Chair, Secretary, Treasurer, and other committee members.
  • Transparency: Present audited financial reports and annual statements for member approval.
  • Planning Ahead: Celebrate achievements, review goals, and plan for the year ahead.

Preparing for Your AGM
  • Set your date early and notify members as per your constitution.
  • Confirm nominations and ensure all roles can be filled.
  • Prepare your annual report, audited accounts, and agenda.
  • Make the meeting engaging with highlights or a guest speaker.


After the AGM
  • Lodge required documentation with your state regulatory body.
  • Update bank signatories and contact lists.
  • Ensure smooth handovers between outgoing and incoming office bearers.
