    As long as you use the correct form (which you can download from the Essential Links page, if the strata managers don't send one out), you can nominate anyone you want to speak and vote on your behalf.

    I think Jimmy makes an important point. Many people seem to think they can only appoint their strata manager as proxy – possibly because that's who you're encouraged to believe acts on your behalf.

    In fact, in some cases it's illegal for the strata manager to act as proxy – ie when it affects their financial interests.

    Recent experience of organising an EGM – to sack an incompetent strata manager – gave us a chance to build communication with unit owners and devise our own proxy form. It was the best attended general meeting we've had in years, if not ever.

    Good luck with yours!
