The International Wheelchair Rugby Federation has announced its first stand-alone General Assembly separate to an event. It will take place on Monday 14 November 2016 in Frankfurt, Germany. The IWRF General Assembly is held every 2 years and is the opportunity for member nations to have an input into the strategic direction of the sport. It is also an opportunity to receive reports and question the Board and CEO on the progress of its operational plans. Business to be conducted at the General Assembly will include elections of the Board of Directors for Treasurer and two Member at Large positions. The general business of the federation and sport will be conducted as well.
GBWR will be running a consultation with the membership about any motions that we wish to be considered. The Domestic and Performance Management Groups will be discussing the topic and we will also be looking for input from officials and classifiers. If any individual GBWR member wishes to submit any ideas or thoughts into the consultation process please contact the Corporate & Membership Secretary with a clear outline and rationale.
