2026 DanceSport State Committee AGM Notice

2026 State General Meetings & Elections

Notice is hereby given of the 2026 State General Meeting of each State of DanceSport Australia Limited.

This year every State Committee position is up for election.
Under the new DSA Constitution, State Boards are now State Committees. All current members stand down in 2026 and a full election will be held in each State.

 

What’s changed

One category – no more Coach, Competitor and General positions; everyone is a State Committee Member.
Up to 9 members per State Committee.
Staggered terms – of those elected in 2026, about half serve two years and half serve one year (decided by votes received, by lot or by Committee ballot). From 2027, elections are held every year.
Maximum 10 consecutive years on a Committee.

Read the full State Committee Charter
