The attention of attendees under a Corporate Membership is drawn to Rule 7.8 of the Constitution:

'... Voting by Corporate bodies is limited to a maximum of four individuals from that body. The identities of Corporate voting and non-voting individuals must be made known to the Chair before commencing the business of the Meeting. All individuals present under a Corporate Membership have speaking rights.'

Also, all members should note rules 7.5:

'Notices of Motion, duly proposed and seconded, must be lodged with the Secretary at least 14 days prior to the General Meeting.'

and 7.6:

'Nominations for Officers and Committee members, duly proposed, seconded and accepted, shall be lodged with the Secretary at least 14 days prior to the General Meeting.'

and 7.7:

'In addition to written nominations for a position, nominations may be taken from the floor at the General Meeting. In the event of there being more nominations than there are positions to fill, candidates shall be elected by simple majority of those Members present and voting. The presiding Member shall have a casting vote.'

For historical and logistical reasons, the date and venue is that of the last day of the ACCU Spring Conference. Please note that you do not need to be attending the conference to attend the AGM.

More details, including any more motions, will be announced later. A full list of motions and electoral candidates will be supplied at the meeting itself.

Please also note we are looking to appoint a new Secretary, and if anyone considers that they could stand for this position, please let either me (as secretary@accu.org) or Hubert Matthews (chair@accu.org) know.
