Welcome and apologies The President, Kristin Ramsey, opened the meeting, welcomed all attendees and noted the apologies of Emmelene Gray 2. Minutes of 2012 AGM The President, Kristin Ramsey moved that the committee accept and adopt the minutes of the 2012 AGM. The motion was seconded by David Topp. All members present (and by Proxy) voted in favour of the motion. The motion was passed. 3. Matters arising from the 2012 AGM Minutes There were no matters arising from the 2012 AGM Minutes. 4. President s report (Kristin Ramsey) The President thanked the committee for their efforts during 2012/2013 and reported that the organisation had continued to excel in particular with the increase in the size of events and turn out of members, including a record breaking turn out at the Queensland Golden Gavel. The organisation had 30 more members than it had in the previous year.

2 The President reported that something the committee was particularly proud of this year was that the new website was up and running, with special thanks to Borhan Borhani for his management and completion of the project. This means that members can join and register for events in a more efficient and professional manner. The Committee had also implemented a new HD logo, a new banner and merchandise. A highlight of the year was the new events held during the year, being the National Golden Gavel and the Australian Young Lawyers Conference. The Committee had received very positive feedback in respect of these events. The events were a testament to how far the organisation had come in the last few years. Kristin thanked the Committee for all of their hard work in executing the events, particularly key organisers Florence Chen and Borhan Borhani, and Sarah Black and David Topp, for their input. The President also thanked the Sponsors and gave special mention to Visis Private Wealth and Empire Careers who have continued to be a fantastic sponsor and supporter of QYL. The President farewelled the members of the existing management committee who were not renominating for 2013/14 Holly Whitcroft, Richie Muir, David Topp, Julian Creagh and Adrian Robins. The President gave special thanks to David Topp, who was retiring from the Committee after 6 years. His help and input over the last 6 years has been invaluable. Finally, the President summarised the challenges that she saw ahead for the Committee and the organisation as a whole. While Visis and Empire have continued to be excellent sponsors, other sponsors have proved challenging throughout the year due to market forces. Sponsorship will be an ongoing challenge for the incoming committee. It is important that the organisation ensured that it maintained its relevance, with increased competition from other organisations, such as QLS Early Career Lawyers. In summary, the President was pleased to be ending her Presidency with the organisation in great shape for the incoming year. She wished Florence and Borhan luck for the upcoming Presidential election. The President formerly welcomed the new management committee members for 2013/14 and wished the committee the best of luck and continued future success.

3 5. Treasurer s Report (David Topp) The Treasurer reported that the Association s accounts had passed audit and that he would shortly file the Association s financial statement, audit report and annual return with the Office of Fair Trading.

The Association s net assets as at 30 June 2013 were $12,299 being a 20% increase in the Association s financial position as at 30 June The Treasurer made special note of the fact that the venue hire costs had significantly increased in the last financial year and while the ticket prices had also slightly increased the increase in ticket prices did not outweigh the venue hire increases. The Treasurer further noted that the memberships had increased by 30 during the course of the financial year. The Treasurer commented that the association should focus in the coming year on increasing numbers at events. He noted that the Pullman had been an excellent venue throughout the year and represented great value for the costs incurred. David moved that the committee accept the Treasurer s report.
