Members of the media Workers’ Association of Grenada during its annual General meeting last Saturday, is said to have appointed a five-member Constitution Review Committee to look at draft recommendations provided by a sub-committee which was set-up in June this year.
At the same time, members concluded the process necessary towards an amended constitution for the Association.
The current constitution is more than twenty years old and members have agreed that amendments to certain sections are needed to recognize ongoing changes within the media landscape, locally, regionally and internationally.
The Constitution Review Committee comprising Shere Ann Noel, Linda Straker, Nigel Mathlin, Sophia Phillip and Gerard Joseph was appointed in lieu of electing a new executive, after members approved a motion to defer the election of a new executive, until the approval of a new constitution.
The committee will have ninety days to review the document and propose amendments to the membership, through a series of online consultations.
After recommendations and discussions are finalized, the draft will be taken to the organization’s legal representative for advice.
