Special General Meeting – 28 January 2026
On behalf of the Retail NZ President, I am writing to advise of a Special General Meeting to be held on Wednesday 28 January 2026, at 10.30am via video conference. View/download the agenda and papers for this meeting below:
The purpose of this meeting is to approve the updated draft constitution. In 2022, a new Incorporated Societies Act was introduced which has additional requirements for Boards and Incorporated Societies to follow, which requires an update to our current constitution to comply with these changes. More information on these changes can be found here: Incorporated Societies Act 2022 | Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment.
You are welcome to join the Special General Meeting to vote “in person” at the meeting. If you would like to join the meeting please reply here to receive appropriate details.
Ngā mihi nui,
Carolyn Young
Chief Executive
