Membership of the
League
I OFTEN get feedback that indicates
people do not understand the
difference between being a “client” of
the League and a “member” of the
League.
Becoming a financial member of the
League is a bit like becoming a
shareholder in a commercial
company, or publicly listed company.
Importantly, it gives you a say in how
the League is run. Unlike a public
company the League does not sell
shares and does not return profits to
its shareholders.
To become a member of the League
you simply need to fill out a
Membership Application Form which
is then submitted to the Board of
Directors for approval.
The cost of membership is currently
$15.00 per year.
Members of the League have a formal
link to the organisation and are
provided with information through
newsletters and the annual reports.
Members can also attend and speak
at General Meetings such as the
Extraordinary General Meeting held in
March each year and the Annual
General Meeting held in November
each year.
Members can vote on resolutions at
General Meetings, and vote in the
election of Directors to the Board.
It is important for the future of the
League that we have a strong and
involved membership.
A strong base of members gives the
League a greater presence and ability
to influence in the community, and
with government.
It is disappointing that the League
currently has only approximately 250
members.
While we support over 2500 clients
and their families across the State,
those numbers are not reflected in our
membership base.
The Board of Directors and I would
like to encourage you to become a
member of the League and help to
secure a strong future for the
organisation.
It would be particularly good to see
more parents of children with cerebral
palsy and related disabilities
becoming members, as these
children reflect the need for the
League’s services in the future.
To apply for membership contact the
League on 07 3358 8011 and ask for
a membership application form to be
sent to you.
