IM24CA Executive Committee Nominations and Motions - Deadline on Monday, September 19
September 16, 2016 - IM24CA - The deadline for submitting final International Melges 24 Class Association (IM24CA) nominations and motions for the 2016 Annual general Meeting is September 19, 2016 (12 pm UK time).
Last year IM24CA updated the constitution at the EGM2015. It was an important move to make sure that the association is governed by the standards according to ISAF. Members in our association worked hard to get it approved by ISAF. The work and the approved constitution has no references to the transition of elections of officers.
When the AGM notes and timelines where published, the IM24CA central office sent out a nomination list of too few candidates based on one interpretation of the transition into the new and updated constitution. This was however wrong. The nominees list is now corrected and checked by ISAF.
