Annual General Meeting 2019

We're excited to announce SDEA will be holding its annual general meeting (AGM) on Saturday 24th August 2019, at 10am, at Centre 42.

This is a vital AGM for all of us.

We are at a crossroads with many decisions to make, which will only put SDEA in a better position to advocate for the value and practice of drama and theatre in community, performance, and education. Be there to shape the future of theatre/drama in Singapore. Elect a new committee to represent you and lead us forward, and vote on changes to the constitution that will secure our charity status and our future. Here are some of the things to look forward to during the AGM:

  • Election of the new committee for 2019-2021

    • The current Committee for the term of 2017-2019 will end their term on 24th August 2019, at the AGM, and a new committee will be voted in to lead SDEA for the next 2 years. This could be you. If you believe in the advancement of the profession of the drama educator and advocating for the value and practice of drama and theatre, and want to do more, this is your chance to lead and shape the future and growth of the theatre/drama industry.
  • Voting on changes to the constitution

    • We are currently in the midst of applying for charity status in Singapore. These changes will secure our charity status and our future.

Over the following weeks, we will be releasing more information on:

  • The venue for the AGM
  • The proposed changes to the constitution
  • The nominees for the committee for 2019-2021

Keep your eyes peeled for more!
