The Australian Swimming Strategic Plan<br />
continues to evolve and it is the blueprint, from<br />
which the sta≈ members take their lead. Vital to<br />
the implementation of the Strategic Plan has<br />
been ASI’s move to a new Constitution, which<br />
has radically modified the governance of the<br />
sport. In March <strong>2002</strong>, the stakeholders<br />
unanimously adopted the new Constitution.<br />
Under the Constitution, the state/territory<br />
<strong>swimming</strong> associations, the Swimmers<br />
Commission and ASCTA elect the President and<br />
then six Directors. Unlike the old Constitution,<br />
these seven elected Directors will not have a vote<br />
at the Annual General Meeting. This new Board<br />
will work under modern governance principles<br />
and be accountable to the stakeholders.<br />
