PRESENTATION of the amended Highlanders FC constitution for adoption by its bonafide members will headline the Bosso annual general meeting at the Clubhouse on Sunday.
In a reminder to members, Highlanders stated:
“Further to the AGM notice published in the Sunday News of 8 January 2023, this serves as a reminder to all members in good standing that the presentation of the amended constitution for endorsement or ratification will be the major highlight of AOB (where due notice has been given).”
The club said bonafide member in need of the constitution can request it by sending an email to [email protected] and provide proof that they are in good standing. The constitutional amendment proposal meant to make the club compliant with Fifa Club Licensing and improve Bosso’s administration, was submitted by club member Innocent Mikazhu ahead of last year’s annual general meeting.
Bosso set up a committee led by board member Nicholas Nyathi to look into the constitutional amendment process.
At last year’s mid-year meeting, Nyathi gave a snippet of some of the amendments to be done, which include avoiding duplication of duties as presently spelt out in the constitution between the club secretary and the CEO.
Should members agree to the amendments, the CEO will have his responsibilities spelt out as required by FIFA on how to run the club, making him a club signatory and be responsible for all the club’s correspondences presently done by the secretary. The amended constitution, if given the green light by members, will also see the abolishing of the secretary, treasurer and committee member’s titles as well as their roles.
Another key item to note in the amended constitution is that an ordinary or life member attached to another club will not be allowed to participate in the decision-making processes of Highlanders such as voting, even though he or she retains membership status.
