We invite you to join us for the 2025 Annual General Meeting which will be held at the premises of Alliance
Française Christchurch on Saturday 24 May 2025, at 11:00am. View the 2025 AGM notice.
Adoption of our new Constitution will take place that day. Adoption of a new constitution is a requirement of the Incorporated Societies Act 2022.
View the AFC's draft new Constitution here.
NOTE: Since it has been shared, some AFC members have suggested changes to the draft Constitution; these will
need to be discussed/approved during the assembly:
- Section I.5 on Definition: To replace "Chief Executive" with "Director"
- Section II.3 on Purposes of the society: To remove
"(4) promote the acquisition and preservation of historical records relating to the French contribution
to the development of Canterbury.
(6) continue the legacy of the Christchurch branch of the Cercle Français founded in 1924."
from the list of primary purposes of the society.
- Section II.23 on Committee Composition: To increase the minimum number of members on the Committee from 3 to a higher number.
- Section II.52 on Surplus Assets: To remove "French Education NZ (FRENZ) Inc" from the
list of not-for-profit entities who would receive surplus assets in the event of liquidation.
