10% of Members are required to ensure we have a Quorum and can conduct business; so, if you are unable to attend please follow this link to complete your proxy vote: https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=KVAr-MajtUWYnahR6L2xTw0FN-ORdr9HmcCDhg7BBQxUM0JNRTVZU1pSNDIzUldJRjcwUUFPN0FDMiQlQCN0PWcu

We are also seeking nominations for directors. Directors need to be primary members (GPs working in at least 2 session per week in comprehensive clinical practice on the Gold Coast or Tweed). This is a fantastic opportunity for local GPs to help shape the future of the organisation. The board is composed of local GPs.

We look forward to seeing many of you on the night!
