First Annual Ballot of SAGS Members
Following the successful ballot of SAGS members on improvements to the charity's constitution, the first annual ballot of all members is underway.
In the first stage, members were invited to consider nomination for election as a charity trustee. We're delighted with the response to that call. Now, in the next stage, the content of the Annual Ballot of Members is being finalised. This will include the election of trustees and approval of annual accounts. The move from physical AGM's, which were traditionally poorly attended, to electronic ballots has already seen a substantial increase in member engagement with the constitution ballot. These new arrangements give every member, individual and corporate, the opportunity to participate in the decision making of the Society without the requirement to attend a meeting.
Look out for an email soon with a link to the platform where you can cast your votes on all the items on this year's annual ballot.
Please make sure you follow the instructions on the platform carefully to ensure your votes are registered. (If you have successfully completed the process, you will receive a confirmation email; if you get that, you know all's well).
