Reiby Election - July 2020

The election of Reiby YJC PSA Workplace Group Committee positions is held annually and is normally conducted at the centre’s AGM for Wednesday, 22 July 2020. On Monday, 20 July 2020, the PSA decided to cancel the scheduled AGM and conduct the ballot by email due to uncertainties and re-emergence of COVID-19 cases across south west Sydney.

All positions were declared vacant, nominations called and the election process was notified by email to members on Monday, 20 July 2020.

The following members accepted their nominations for five Executive roles for the WPG:

Chair Lisa Matthews, Rakesh Pratap and Robert Hughes

The ballot process was declared open Monday evening and closed 5pm Friday, 24 July 2020. Members provided their casting ballots by email to Latu Sailosi, PSA Organiser for Youth Justice and nominated returning officer. In total, the PSA received 34 ballots – two of the ballots were deemed ineligible due to their non-membership status.
