Annual General Meetings

Be part of the conversation and help shape the direction of Capricorn.

Capricorn is a member-owned organisation and Member representation helps ensure Members’ interests are safeguarded. The Annual General Meetings (AGM) is an important enabler of Member representation and allows Members to influence the direction of Capricorn.

The AGMs ensure transparency and accountability; a key function is the consideration of the items of business for Member voting. They also allow Members to have their voices heard and address any concerns or questions they may have. It’s one of the ways that open communication helps to build trust and engagement in our Community and is a key contributor to our long-term success and stability.

All eligible Capricorn Members are invited to each of the AGMs. The meeting are hosted as a hybrid event allowing Members throughout Australia and New Zealand to vote and attend online. We also welcome Members to attend in person; details can be found below.

Capricorn welcomes new and re-elected Member Directors

At the 2025 Capricorn Society Annual General Meeting (AGM), the results of the 2025 Director Election for VIC/TAS and NSW/ACT were announced. Congratulations to Anthony Shaw who was elected as Member Director for the VIC/TAS zone, and Lydia Stjepanovic who was re-elected to represent the NSW/ACT zone.

Anthony Shaw, co-owner of Shaw Performance Automotive & 4x4, brings 16 years of business ownership experience and a strong commitment to modernising the automotive industry. Based in Sandford, Tasmania, Anthony is recognised for his innovative approach, collaborative mindset, and community leadership; including his tenure as President of the 500 Car Club of Tasmania.

“I’m passionate about helping Members embrace modern technologies and smarter business practices,” Anthony said. “Capricorn represents the power of working together, and I’m excited to help grow that cooperative spirit across our industry.”

Lydia Stjepanovic, Managing Director of Barr Automotive in Hornsby, NSW, has been re-elected to the Board with a Member-first mindset and a future-focused approach to governance. A second-generation automotive business owner, Lydia has served on multiple Capricorn committees and currently chairs the Remuneration and Nomination Committee.

“I’m honoured to continue representing Members and helping shape Capricorn’s strategic direction. My focus is on ensuring our decisions are grounded in real-world insight and built for the future,” Lydia said.

Capricorn Board Chair Mark Rowe welcomed both Directors, reinforcing the importance of strong Member representation on the Board.

“Capricorn is built on the strength of its Members, and our Board reflects that,” Mark said. “Anthony and Lydia bring unique perspectives, grounded in real business experience, and a shared commitment to supporting our industry’s evolution.”

Members also approved the selective share buy-back resolution at the AGM, enabling Members to continue selling their shares back to Capricorn.
