The SOTO Australasia Annual General Meeting will be held at the Barossa Valley on November 12, 2011. Formal notice will be sent to you during October. There are two points to be voted upon.

Resolution 1

In favour of / against SOTO AUSTRALASIA annual membership subscription to be increased from:

• DC $163.64 (Plus GST) to $200 (Plus GST) Effective 1st January, 2012
• Associate $81.82 (Plus GST) to $100 (Plus GST) Effective 1st January, 2012
• Academic (Student) & Overseas Member $54.55 (Plus GST) to $63.64 (Plus GST) Effective 1st January, 2012
• And increased in line with the Australian Consumer Price Index each year.

Resolution 2

In favour of / against SOTO AUSTRALASIA name change from Sacro Occipital Technique Organisation Australasia to Sacro Occipital Technic Organisation Australasia.

Whilst the two words technique or technic can often be used interchangeably, it has been requested by SORSI, the founding SOT organisation in the USA, to use the correct official term as intended by Dr De Jarnette. As part of the unifying process of SOT worldwide, it is important that terminology is congruent between member organisations.
