      <title>Annual General Meeting 2021 Thursday 9th December 2021 10.00am (via MSTeams)</title>

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Please join us for the RMA Annual General Meeting. Due to technical difficulties we are unable to hold this meeting in person, however we are saving the best of our presenters for our Country Conference.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
            
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Please register your attendance using the link 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
            
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Following the AGM we will hold an informative session about the developments of the collaboration of RMA, FinPro and Local Government Victoria in setting up a best practice for responding to hardship in Local Government. As you will be aware, this was a key outcome from the Rating Review conducted in 2019/2020 and the Ombudsman's Report into how local councils respond to ratepayers in financial hardship.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           To make up for the lack of in person meeting, we have arranged for a special comedian guest to attend the event and provide us with the laugh that we all need after the last two years!
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
            
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           If there is one online meeting you don't want to miss in 2021, this is it!
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
