Board Summaries
2013
During the 1990s, the governing body of the EFA, its Federal Council, explored ways in which to make the EFA a truly national organisation, rather than one composed of members of individual State Branches. On July 12 1997, the EFA became the Equestrian Federation of Australia Ltd, a company limited by guarantee, with a Board of Directors comprising the State Chairs and a number of appointed Directors. In 2001, the general membership was able to elect a further three Board members directly.
At a General Meeting at Sydney Airport on Sunday, 18 January 2004, the shareholders (Branches) of the Equestrian Federation resolved to implement the recommendations of a Governance Review that had been undertaken over the previous 18 months. This resulted in a totally new form of "governance", with a skills-based Board of five directors elected by the "shareholders" from nominations by the general membership of the EFA.
In 2009, the Branches as the only voting members decided to make some chages to the constitutional provisions and also adopted a major 're-write' of the constitution itself. This constitution is likely to become effective 01 February 2010.
