PAJ election delayed by low member turnout

A low turnout of members stalled activities at the Press Association of Jamaica (PAJ) annual general meeting (AGM) yesterday.

Among the key issues scheduled to highlight the PAJ AGM was the election of new officers, along with decisions regarding the code of practice and the revised constitution.

However, the 25-member quorum needed for decisions to be taken on these issues was not achieved, PAJ President Byron Buckley disclosed yesterday.

Buckley, who expressed his disappointment at the paltry turnout, said a decision was taken to call another general meeting at a date to be announced.

"I am calling on members to turn out so that the association can move forward," Buckley said.
