VMA TO RUN AGM AT END OF MONTH

The Visual Media Association will hold its Annual General Meeting on Wednesday 31 July, at 11am Australian Eastern Standard time in online meeting format.

Members wishing to participate in the AGM should register their interest by Registering Online before Monday 29 July. Members who are unable to attend the meeting are entitled to nominate a proxy using a Proxy Voting Form which can also be found online with the Member Notice.

The AGM will feature Office Bearers addresses from the association’s treasurer, Rodney Frost, CEO of The Lamson Group, and the VMA’s CEO, Kellie Northwood. There will also be an open forum for member engagement. Attendees will have the opportunity for discussion and input, as well as voting rights on the financials.

Northwood said, “The AGM is an opportunity for members to understand the financial management of the prior year, but also the future investment and focus of the association, we welcome all to attend.”

The VMA says the 2023 financials reflect a “strong performance” to revenue growth. It says consolidating the two associations (PVCA and TRMC) from the 2022 merger is reflected in the 2023 financials, realising a 167 per cent revenue increase.

Overall membership growth, including merged member de-duplication realised 8 per cent, or 12 per cent direct, new membership.

A quorum across the country is required to accept the financials with national representation across each state. Members can log in to the website and access a copy of the statutory financial statements to be presented by the board at the meeting via the members lounge: www.visualmediaassociation.org.au/member-lounge.
