The Botswana Table Tennis Association (BTTA) has adopted a motion to effect a constitutional change that would allow its Annual General Meeting (AGM) to be held within three months after the end of the financial year. The constitutional change was adopted after a proposal by the BTTA executive committee.

It would affect Article Eight, Section One of the BTTA constitution that says the AGM shall be held within two months before the end of the financial year. BTTA president, Gordon Modukanele told Mmegi Sport yesterday that all the stakeholders have agreed at the annual AGM held at the weekend that the article in its current form is inconveniencing the association.
He said that if the AGM is held two months before the end of the financial year, the outgoing committee does not get the chance to present their financial report before they leave.
He stated that they all agreed that every committee should account for the year they served the association. He added that it is difficult in the current set-up for the new committee to account for things they know nothing about.
He said that if the committee leaves office three months after the end of the financial year, they will be able to account for their financial dealings since the audit report comes out around June. At the AGM over the weekend, the executive committee proposed the revamping of the BTTA logo as a branding strategy. Modukanele confirmed that the affiliates agreed to the change and suggested that the committee should have come up with proposals for new logos. Eventually it was decided that BTTA and all its affiliates should come up with their own logos from which the new one will be chosen.
