Professional Strata Manager Chapter
During the 2025 Board nomination process, the company received one (1) nominee (Wade McKenzie) for the two (2) vacant Professional Strata Manager Chapter positions.
In accordance with clause 28.7 of the Constitution of SCA (NSW), as the number of candidates received for the election of Elected Directors is less than the number of vacant positions to be filled, the candidate will be declared elected at the Annual General Meeting without the need for a ballot.
Although no election is required for the vacant PSM Elected Directors positions, PSM members are encouraged to vote on the other AGM motions either face-to-face at the AGM or via Pre-Poll/Proxy forms
Strata Services Chapter
During the 2025 Board nomination process, three (3) nominations were received by the company for the one (1) vacant Strata Services Chapter position (see nominees below).

In accordance with clause 28.5 (c) of the Constitution of SCA (NSW) only Strata Services Members may vote in the ballot for the Strata Services Directors.
