The Guild’s AGM is set for Tuesday, June 22nd from 7 – 8.30pm BST and will take place virtually via Zoom.
All members of the Guild are welcome to attend and hear from the Guild’s Board on achievements over the past year and plans for the future. All Full members are entitled to vote at the AGM; Associate and Corporate members are welcome to join us, but may not vote.
Agenda
The AGM Agenda can be downloaded here. Reports from Directors, including the accounts for the year (up to 31st March 2021), will be circulated on June 8th.
Election of Board directors
The following directors are retiring by rotation: Frances Brace, Pete Brown, and Annabel Smith. Robert Humphreys, as a co-opted director, must also retire. This leaves us with three vacancies on the Board.
The application period to stand for election has now closed. Frances, Annabel and Robert have chosen to step down. We are incredibly grateful to them for their many contributions to the Board over the years.
Pete will be standing for re-election, with four further applications received from Maureen Heffernan, Emma Inch, David Jesudason and Malin Norman.
As this year’s AGM is taking place online, the Board has approved an alternative method of online voting which will take place in advance of the AGM. Find more detail below.
