– Listen to Nasho Fair Go President Geoff Parkes preview the AGM on August 8 –
Nasho Fair Go will soon host its most important meeting to date, as it acts to vote on a change that will see it become a “truly national organisation”.
Since launching on 22 February 2022, Nasho Fair Go’s membership base has exploded from a handful of participants to more than 3,200 from all over the country, meaning it has outgrown its status as a Victorian-based association.
- In short: Nasho Fair Go has outgrown its status as a Victorian association after experiencing huge growth in membership numbers from around Australia.
- The best way forward is for it to become a company limited by guarantee, which will turn it into a “truly national organisation”.
- What’s next? Nasho Fair Go needs about 320 members to attend the AGM on August 8 to pass the change.
The group must now become a company limited by guarantee to continue expanding beyond Victoria.
A quorum of approximately 320 members is needed at the AGM on August 8 to pass the change.
Nasho Fair Go President Geoff Parkes said it is a good problem to have.
“We originally incorporated as a Victorian association, but when you get to a stage where you are deriving 50 per cent of your members from outside your state – and we are well over that – then it is time we have to move on,” he said.
“So we have to become a company limited by guarantee, which is a really big step for us, which means we will have 9 board members, who will come from every state.
“We will be a truly national organisation with national representation.”
Mr Parkes said the growth has exceeded his expectations.
“Yeah, I would have been very happy with even a thousand members to give us some sort of base, but to get over 3,000 members, it’s incredible,” he said.
