AWA DIRECTORY
Represent Your
Industry in 2014
The AWA represents the interests of Australian
manufacturers and fabricators of residential
and commercial window and door products
and their component suppliers.
The AWA is a co-operative run by its members, be they large
or small. Any member can influence the direction of the
Association by nominating themselves for the Board of Directors.
Board members are expected to commit to attend meetings,
take an active role in projects and sub-committees and to travel
at their own expense.
Nominations for 2014 will open mid December 2013 and board
members will be announced at the AGM on Monday 24
February 2014.
10.2 The Board of Directors shall be composed as follows:
(a) Eight shall be members who have qualified for
membership by virtue of being Manufacturers;
(b) Two shall be members who have qualified for
membership by virtue of being Suppliers;
(c) The Executive Director.
10.3 Further to composition of the Board of Directors as provided
for in Rule 10.2, a geographical balance must also be maintained,
namely by drawing a representative number of directors from
Australia as follows:
(a) Northern Australia (QLD, NT)
(b) Southern Australia (VIC, SA, TAS)
(c) Western Australia (WA)
(d) Eastern Australia (NSW, ACT)
10.4 The Board of Directors may appoint additional directors
where it considers that particular sector of the membership
may be disadvantaged if they do not have representation on
the Board of Directors. The appointment shall be for such period
and on such terms as the Board considers appropriate in the
circumstances.
10.5 No two Board of Directors members can belong to the
same body corporate, company, corporate group or similar.

10.6 In the event that the Director is not a natural person (such
as a body corporate, company or corporate group) then that
directors’ representative on the Board of Directors must be the
Chief Executive or other executive director of that Director.
If that representative is not available to attend any meeting of
the Board of Directors, then the Director may deputise another
person to act as its proxy, on the basis that the person:
(a) Is of sufficient seniority and experience within the
Director for that person’s contribution to the meeting
to be of value; and
(b) Has the Director’s proxy to act with the authority of
the usual representative.
