Constitution Edits

This year the KS has focused on making changes to the constitution that involve the use of current attitudes towards gender identity, modernization of roles on KS, and the formal 'writing in' of certain roles and responsibilities. All items will have the opportunity to be discussed at the AGM and we would be happy to answer any questions you may have. Below is a list of major changes being proposed, for the full edit please consult the documents below.
