What is Australian Orchid Council Inc.?
The
Australian Orchid Council Inc. of today is a far cry from that
founded in 1960. After a number of years of turmoil, a new
Constitution was adopted in 1997. Perhaps the most significant
changes here were: the State representation at Council being handed
to a STRO (State or Territory Representative Organization) with the
former State member bodies being termed "Foundation Members" and
having equal voting with other clubs in their home state; the
introduction of Personal Membership as part of a subscription to
Orchids Australia; and the separation of the regional Judging Panels
from their former ‘State’ managerial status. Each State now has a
number of panels which elect their Deputy Registrar of Judges, who
are directly responsible to the AOC Registrar General. . . . [more]
 Orchid Judging
System
The Australian Orchid Council Inc., formed in 1960, coordinates and administers a national judging system of orchids in this country. The judging system is managed by the Registrar General of Judging, through a Deputy Registrar in each state or territory. The Deputy Registrar, in turn, coordinates the
panel or panels of nationally accredited
judges within his/her state. The panels are located throughout each
state. Queensland and New South Wales have a large number of orchid
societies/clubs, and growers, hence have a greater number of judges
and judging panels. . . . [more about orchid judging]
