MS Auckland’s Board has reviewed and revised our Constitution, largely in accordance with requirements of the 2022 Incorporated Societies Act.

We welcome any questions and feedback before end of February, as we would like to have queries and issues fully resolved before the AGM in April.

Please give any feedback through info@msakl.org.nz  or through any Board member if there is anything you want to discuss.


  1. Constitution review

Every incorporated society has had to review their constitutions, and to submit  for approval against new criteria established by the passing of the Incorporated Societies Act 2022. An MS Auckland  subcommittee has worked through the changes required,  a draft of which has been approved by the Board.

Please find here the Draft of our proposed new constitution.

The changes include  :

  • changes for clarity e.g. defining all the terms used in the constitution
  • changes to meet the requirements of the  Incorporated Societies Act 2022. In particular
    • requirements for definition of members, and holding member record
    • requirements for Board officers, and their duties
    • Clear procedures for managing complaints and disputes
  • decisions by the committee.  e.g. the definition of members has been condensed, the method for election of officers has changed

Minor changes (spelling, grammar, formatting, gender neutralisation) have not been identified.

  1. The final draft

After consideration of feedback, a Final Draft will be presented at the AGM for members to vote.

The proposed resolution for the AGM
