The key contact of all Members provided at affiliation will shortly receive a direct email from Vero, the online voting platform employed for this year’s AGM, with full instructions on how to access the online platform. All Members will be required to access the Vero platform (through the link provided in the email received directly from Vero) prior to the AGM and indicate whether they will be attending the AGM or will be appointing a proxy.

2023 DIRECTOR ELECTIONS

For 2023 and beyond, Tennis NSW is moving to a fully online voting system to conduct all Director elections. Accordingly, all members wishing to vote in the 2023 Director elections will be required to do so online prior to the AGM. Members will shortly receive an email directly from Vero, the online voting platform employed for this year’s AGM, with full instructions on how to access the voting portal. For the purpose of the director elections, the voting platform will open on 3 November 2023, and will close midnight 20 November 2023. Results of the elections will then be announced at the AGM. Full details about the candidates, and further instructions on how to vote, are contained both in the AGM Notice & Meeting Pack, and also in the online voting portal.

Members who have any queries in relation to the voting process, including assistance with completing the online proxy form should send an email to [email protected].

PROXY FORMS

Due to Director Elections being held prior to the AGM, the allocating of proxies is separated between the elections and the AGM. Please consult the official Notice of AGM on how to nominate a proxy in respect of each item.

APOLOGIES

If you will be unable to attend the AGM, and you do not wish to nominate a proxy, please email [email protected] if you wish to be formally recorded as an apology.

Yours sincerely

Darren Simpson
Chief Executive Officer and Company Secretary
