About National Council

The Annual General Meeting of National Council is held each year in Wellington.

Each RSA and affiliated organisation is entitled to be represented at National Council by their appointed delegates.

National Council consists of:

• Members of the RNZRSA National Executive Committee
• RNZRSA Life Members
• Local RSAs (those with up to 1000 members are entitled to two delegates; those with over 1000 members are entitled to three delegates)
• Local RSA Houses or Clubs (one delegate entitled to speak and vote on licensed matters only)
• Affiliated Organisations (one delegate from each affiliated organisation)

	A National Council Meeting in progress.

Local RSAs and other affiliates wishing to raise policy or other issues for consideration by National Council, must first submit a remit to the Chief Executive. These remits are considered at the National Council meeting and voted upon. All resolutions of National Council are binding on local RSAs.

National Council delegates are entitled to one vote on each remit. Local RSAs are also entitled to send one observer who has no speaking or voting rights.

The National Executive Committee may also invite any member or non-member organisation to have observers at National Council from time to time as appropriate.

Remits and Resolutions are published as appropriate before and after each National Council meeting.

The National President, National Vice Presidents and four Elected Members of the National Elected Committee are elected annually at National Council.
