Project Initiation

This will then be considered by the Board who can decide to appoint the member as the project coordinator as the bearer of the project idea or initiative the process to vote for a Project Coordinator.

Project Prioritisation 

Every year the members vote for the top 3 projects to be prioritised by the organisation. These projects would receive priority when sourcing for funding, delegating task to members and on our calendar of events. These are usually projects we implement on an annual basis however, it does not prevent us from considering/ implementing other projects.
