AGM and Board Elections – Important Information
Following the SGM decision to retain the 2024 Constitution, this year’s AGM and Board election process will operate under the rules contained in that document.
This means there are some important differences members need to be aware of:
Voting is in person only. There is no provision for online or postal voting.
No proxy voting. Members must attend the AGM themselves to cast their vote in the Board elections and on any resolution proposed to the meeting.
No General Business from the floor. Any matter members wish to raise for discussion must be submitted to the Board as a formal resolution at least seven days before the AGM.
Following the conclusion of the AGM, there will be a 30-minute session for general discussion.
If you would like to have a say in who represents you on the Board, please make sure you attend the AGM. We would love to see a full room.
