ACS Constitutional Review Consultation Sessions - Round 2
What Elements do You want in the New Constitution? We welcome all ACS members to come along to our governance review workshops. It’s a chance to provide your input into how the society is run in the future. The events will run through the major issues and challenges that ACS is facing, and we’ll be looking to get your feedback on the direction ACS should take as we draft a new constitution for the coming century.

A document-set, released on 3 February 2022, at https//crwg.org, provides background information on what we think the key items might be.
Meetings will generally run for an hour, with a lead-in provided, to make sure that all participants are oriented to the session's aims.

About the Constitutional Process
The project as a whole began in September 2021.
The consultation process was initiated by ACS Congress, and is being run by the Constitutional Reform Working Group (CRWG), jointly convened by Dr Nick Tate (now the Society's President) and Dr Roger Clarke.
Three rounds of consultation are scheduled.
The first ran September to December 2021, and discussed principles.
You can find details of that process here.
The Round 1 Report back to Members is here.
