We're going to register MakeHackVoid as an ACT Association. For registration, we need to nominate an initial committee of at least 7 people, including a President, Vice President, Treasurer and Secretary.

The committee will have the responsibility of organising MakeHackVoid's affairs from now on. Forming an association allows us many new possibilities for growth. We can begin to cultivate an official membership. We will also have a legal entity that is capable of leasing property, and entering into other legal agreements.
