Constitution change and new Management team

Hi Everyone,

On Friday evening the 1st of March a new constitution for Sydney Atheists Incorporated was voted on.  The 2013 constitution is now effective. In line with the 2013 constitution office bearers and committee members were elected. They are:

President - Steve Marton
Vice President - Morgan Storey

The new management committee is closely linked to and fully supports the Sydney Atheist Meetup group.

There are several sub-committees that we are looking for organisers for and volunteers for each. We would ask that you join the incorporated via www.sydneyatheists.org
