2026 CALL FOR DIRECTOR NOMINATIONS
At the upcoming Annual General Meeting of Ice Hockey Australia (IHA) Limited, there are four Director positions which are due to retire by rotation, and one Director position that is currently vacant. The 2026 IHA Nominations Committee will be chaired by Michael Juste, and we are also at this stage seeking nominations for the remaining two Nominations Committee positions. Please send through suitable nominations to Michael at Michael.Juste@iha.org.au by Monday 17 August 2026.

Director 3, 4 and 5 - These positions are general Director positions.
