We successfully held our 60th Annual General Meeting on the 27th January 2022.
Since we changed our name to The Australian Gas Association in 1962, from the National Gas Association established in 1925, we have officially turned 60 and have a larger membership than ever.
AGA’s Chairman, Mr Chris Devlin, opened the meeting and welcomed AGA’s members and staff as well as introducing AGA’s Directors, Mr Malcolm Young, Mr Chris Wealthy, Mr Bill Tabourlos, Mr Frank Seeley and Mr Ian Forte.
The Chairman outlined the momentous year that AGA had and how far we have come, including the acquisition of the Mondo Laboratory in Sydney as well as Type B Certification in New South Wales and South Australia. The Chairman highlighted the importance of international relationships and how the Gas Appliance Certification Meeting of the Asia Pacific Region (GACM) keeps a strong information alliance with key countries, including China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore. AGA will host the 12th GACM in Melbourne, Australia in November 2022, (subject to any COVID restrictions). Managing Director and CEO Bill Tabourlos is the current Chair of the GACM.
Mr. Tabourlos thanked all AGA Members for their ongoing support and discussed the future transition of our gas industry. He talked about the importance of AGA’s communication with Members and other gas industry stakeholders in anticipation of a transition.
Bill also added whether our industry transitions to hydrogen or to an alternative solution, all sectors of our industry need to work together to ensure a successful transition.
The Chairman closed the meeting and again thanked all who attended.
We are proud to be celebrating the 60th anniversary of AGA.
