Governance Committee

The AGM

SWOP NSW has an Annual General Meeting (AGM) each year, usually towards the end of the year. Here we go over our financial reporting, the Annual Report, our achievements as an organisation, and other matters. This is led by the Governance Committee, and only SWOP NSW members can attend.
