The association will hold its 2026 Annual General Meeting (AGM) to present results and accounts, elect committee members, and approve any bylaw changes. Clear meeting rules and good minutes reduce disputes, improve participation, and make transitions smoother for volunteers.
This proposal is a Concorder showcase: we rank the election method and transparency package, then we choose date/time windows to maximize attendance, and finally we choose venue options where accessibility and travel time matter.
Rank the governance options, then pick the date/time windows and venues you can attend. In comments: propose agenda items, candidate nominations (with short bios), and any accessibility requirements.
Members can express preferences for multiple seats; minutes record motions, results, and assigned actions. Publish vote totals and a short decisions log after the AGM.
Maximizes transparency and reduces confusion.
Vote on a proposed committee slate and programme; include a structured Q&A segment; publish minutes with motions and action owners.
Fast decision-making when a cohesive team is presented.
Run a pre-AGM nominations period and shortlist, share candidate bios in advance, then hold the final vote at the AGM with clear minutes and a decision log.
Improves information quality and reduces surprises on the day.
Guidance on AGMs, rules, and what to cover.
