6. Election of Officers and Executive Council
a. President
David Howard’s two-year term expires at the 2026 AGM, and he is not seeking re-election. Therefore, David will become immediate Past President, and Bailey Gair will retire from the Executive Council.
Vice President Jeremy Dixon was nominated for the office of President by the closing date of 28 July 2026. No other nominations were received. Therefore, no election is necessary, and Jeremy Dixon is duly elected to the office of President.
b. Vice President
Jeremy Dixon’s two-year term expires at the 2026 AGM, and he indicated that he would put his name forward for election as President.
Executive Councillor Adam Plimmer was nominated for the office of Vice President by the closing date of 28 July 2026. No other nominations were received. Therefore, no election is necessary, and Adam Plimmer is duly elected to the office of Vice President.

The terms of office of Paul Bisset and Mark Evans expire at the 2026 AGM. Mark Evans indicated he would seek re-election and was nominated by the closing date of 28 July 2026. Paul Bisset indicated that he would not be seeking re-election, leaving a vacancy on the Executive Council.
With Adam Plimmer seeking election as Vice President, this has resulted in a further vacancy on the Executive Council from the 2026 AGM. Nominations were sought from Contractor Members and Branches for these three positions.
