The Australian Institute of Professional Photography (AIPP) has announced the 2019/20 State Councillors, who will serve from now until June 31, 2020.
A primary demand by AIPP members during the restructure from last year was to decentalise control, by returning power from the National Board and now-defunct National Office, to the State Councils.
An AIPP Constitutional Committee was set up last year to develop numerous reforms, with the aim of designing a system that increased activity from a state level. This led to new Council Bylaws, which replaced Charters and made certain amendments, such as increasing the maximum number of councillors from five to eight.
AIPP constitutional reform was voted in at the AIPP Annual General Meeting in December 2018, so this will be the first time the AIPP State Councils will operate for a full term under the new bylaws.
The AIPP State Councils will meet at minimum once every two months, and are required to organise at least 10 events per year for members, as well as the State Printed-based awards. There is a bunch of other administrative and instructional information mentioned in the 2019 Council By-Law document.
Starting from Queensland and working clockwise, here are the AIPP 2019/20 State and Territory Councils.
