Annual General Meetings

Annual General Meetings will be called by the Chancellor or the Deputy Chancellor through the Vice Chancellor as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). These will be scheduled into the WINHEC Annual General Meeting proceedings, but WINU will have its own time and agenda allocated to occur prior to the meetings of the WINHEC and its Committees. 


WINU acknowledges the Indigenous peoples of the world upon whose ancestral lands WINU meets.
WINU would also like to pay respect to the Traditional Knowledge Holders and Elders,
both past and present, acknowledging them as the continued Sovereign traditional owners
and custodians of knowledge for their lands, stories and communities.
