WARO Enters Recess

/

During the recent WARO Executive meeting, April 2020, there was a motion passed that WARO goes into recess until they can meet at a full NZART AGM to discuss the future of WARO. This was seconded and agreed by the Executive Committee.

Therefore, WARO is now in recess until the AGM being held in Napier 2021, where a Special General Meeting will be held, NOT an AGM.

Executive Committee positions will remain the same until then, subs do not need to be paid this year. Finances will be maintained and held by the Treasurer, until the meeting in Napier.

“The reason behind the recess is self-explanatory, due to the lack or no support from WARO members this leaves us no alternative.”
— WARO
