ACCA 48th Annual General Meeting
ACCA held its 48th Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Sunday 11th
December 2022 at Club Parramatta.
The AGM was declared open by President
Tim Feng at 12.00noon - a quorum of 95 (voting members including proxies) was
registered at the time. Mr Feng presented his report for the year
2021-22.
He reported that the
financial year of 2021-2022 had been one of continuous change and reform, with
a change in the Federal Government in May 2022. Mr Feng was pleased that the
new government was committed to resolving critical issues in the aged care
sector, especially in regards to workforce shortages and low wages for aged
care workers.
Mr Feng thanked Mr
Felix Lam who retired in May 2022 for his service as a Director and past
President, and also welcomed Mr Derek Li on his appointment to the Board.
Thereafter, Treasurer
Christine Mok presented her report for the financial year ended 30 June
2022.
Ms Mok congratulated
the management for another year of outstanding financial success, also noting
that this had been the thirteenth consecutive year of surplus achieved by ACCA.
Members asked about
the subject of electronic communication from ACCA to members, as well as potential
cybersecurity threats to ACCA. The directors and General Manager explained that
ACCA has taken pro-active steps to encourage members to provide their email
addresses to ACCA as a means of communication so as to minimise sending mail by
post. In addition, members were also advised that ACCA has strengthened its
cybersecurity measures in light of reported heightened risks faced by many
organisations.
The meeting was declared
closed at 12.30pm.
Thereafter, the
members adjourned to ACCA’s Parramatta office where special guest Dr Andrew
Charlton MP, Federal Member for Parramatta congratulated ACCA’s directors,
management, staff and volunteers for the tireless work they perform in the aged
care and disability care sectors as well as for delivering other community
services. Dr Charlton then joined the members and guests for lunch to celebrate
another successful year.
