The Board has been working hard on this with the assistance of Maude and Miller and is asking the membership to adopt the new constitution at the next AGM. \nThe draft constitution was first presented to the membership at last year’s AGM\, and feedback was received. Another draft version was presented at the Special General Meeting in Oct 2023\, where more thorough feedback was sought. After consultation with the membership and advice from lawyers\, I will put forward the following motion: \nI propose that the MENZA membership adopt the new Constitution presented to the membership on the 15th of June\, 2024. \nPlease find a copy of the constitution to have a read-through. \nI would also like to propose a change to our membership fees. Unfortunately\, there are costs involved in running an organisation like MENZA. Although the board tries to seek funding from other external sources\, we also heavily rely on membership fees. The proposed changes are as follows: \nMENZA Membership Fees Review  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMembership Type \n\n\n2023 (including GST) \n\n\n2024 (Including GST) \n\n\n\n\nIndividual \n\n\n$34.50 \n\n\n$35.00 \n\n\n\n\nStudent Teacher \n\n\n$0.00 \n\n\n$0.00 \n\n\n\n\nPre-Certified Teacher \n\n\n$0.00 \n\n\n$0.00 \n\n\n\n\nEarly Childhood / Kohanga Reo \n\n\n$34.50 \n\n\n$40.00 \n\n\n\n\nArea School \n\n\n$34.50 \n\n\n$40.00 \n\n\n\n\nPrimary / Intermediate / Kura Kaupapa \n\n\n$34.50 \n\n\n$50.00 \n\n\n\n\nSecondary / Kura Tuarua fewer than 800 \n\n\n$69.00 \n\n\n$100 \n\n\n\n\nSecondary / Kura Tuarua more than 800 \n\n\n$103.50 \n\n\n$150 \n\n\n\n\nLibrary \n\n\n$69.00 \n\n\n$100 \n\n\n\n\nInstitution – Tertiary \n\n\n$172.50 \n\n\n$150 \n\n\n\n\nBusiness \n\n\n$172.50 \n\n\n$150 \n\n\n\n\nReciprocal organisation \n\n\n$ 0.00 \n\n\n$0.00 \n\n\n\n\nDiscourse  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNon-Members \n\n\n$15.00 per annum \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMembers \n\n\nUsers who have access to the platform \n\n\n\n\nIndividual \n\n\nSingle \n\n\n\n\nStudent Teacher \n\n\nSingle \n\n\n\n\nPre-Certified Teacher \n\n\nSingle \n\n\n\n\nEarly Childhood / Kohanga Reo \n\n\nUnlimited – with an institution email address \n\n\n\n\nArea School \n\n\nUnlimited – with an institution email address \n\n\n\n\nPrimary / Intermediate / Kura Kaupapa/ Secondary / Kura Tuarua \n\n\nUnlimited – with an institution email address \n\n\n\n\nLibrary \n\n\nTwo \n\n\n\n\nInstitution – Tertiary \n\n\nFive \n\n\n\n\nBusiness \n\n\nTwo \n\n\n\n\nReciprocal Organisation \n\n\nTwo \n\n\n\n\nAll subscriptions come with two free digital Tune Me In Magazines.
