Key Highlights

Quorum & Opening: The meeting commenced with a quorum of 15 members. An Acknowledgement of Country was delivered by children from Flynn ECEC via video.
Annual Report: The 2024–2025 Annual Report was presented by Bruce Fuda (President), who reflected on the collaborative development of the 2025–2030 Strategic Plan and celebrated the year’s achievements. Special thanks were given to Sarah Fogarty for inspiring the inclusion of children’s portraits and reflections in the report, adding a unique community touch.
Financial Position: Corey Ryan (Treasurer) reported a strong financial position, with a solid surplus and healthy reserves. This improvement from previous years enables the Association to consider investing in new initiatives over the next 12–18 months. Appreciation was extended to Karen Frost (Finance Manager) and the Leadership team for their work on the audit.
Management Committee Elections: The outgoing Management Committee was formally dissolved. Bruce Fuda announced he would not stand for President in 2026 but is willing to serve as a general committee member. The following members were unanimously elected:
Corey Ryan (President)

Auditor Appointment: Nexia was reappointed as auditor for the next financial year, recognised for their strong relationship with the Leadership team and cost-effectiveness.
Transition to Company Limited by Guarantee: Members endorsed, in principle, a proposal to pursue registration as an Australian not-for-profit Company Limited by Guarantee, including a future name change for the Association. A Special Resolution will be put forward at a Special General Meeting in 2026, date to be confirmed, to formalize this transition including the name of the organisation.
