The SLSNSW State Council consists of the 11 Branch Presidents (representing their respective branches) and the SLSNSW President.
The State Council consists of the voting members of SLSNSW as an entity. Through an election process articulated in the SLSNSW Constitution, SLSNSW State Council members elect the SLSNSW Board, following formalised voting by individual clubs at the SLSNSW branch level.
They hold meetings twice a year that coincide with the SLSNSW Election Meeting and the Annual General Meeting (AGM). In addition, they can meet informally for workshops and operational updates.
The key duties of the SLSNSW State Council are:
- To approve any amendments to the Constitution
- To assist the SLSNSW Board and SLSNSW Management in their deliberations on strategic direction and major policy formulation of such issues that affect their respective memberships
- To discuss NSW state-wide issues
- To inform the Board of significant issues affecting the membership
- To provide a conduit for the SLSNSW Board and management teams to interact with the views of the membership on operational matters, new concepts, initiatives, policies or programs it is considering
- To provide feedback to the SLSNSW Board on results of its governance decisions in practice at member level
- To elect the SLSNSW Board as per the SLSNSW Constitution.
