The SAP Australian User Group (SAUG) has made changes to
their constitution, which will affect membership and committee
processes.
Connie Iong, vice chair, SAUG, said changes have been made to how new members are brought into the organisation.
“When we on-board members, traditionally the entire committee is
involved and there was a three stage process that we had to go through,
according to the constitution. But, with the change in the constitution,
now we have a membership sub-committee in automation via our website
for these processes,” she said at SAUG’s 40th Plenary in Sydney.
SAUG now has ordinary members who are corporate members, consultants and associate members.
Other key changes include changing the number of committee members from
nine to eight, introducing a two-year term for committees with a 50 per
cent rotation each year, and changing the membership structure to remove
all product-centric names, such as BusinessOne.
These are the first major changes made to the constitution since SAUG’s incorporation 12 years ago.
The changes were passed at a special general meeting on 21 September and endorsed by NSW Fair Trading in October.
“We are now proud to say we have an updated constitution, which should take us through another decade,” Iong said.
