Notice of Annual General Meeting and Election of Directors 2024
The BIA’s 2024 Annual General Meeting (AGM) will be held virtually from 4.30 pm to 5.15 pm on Tuesday 22 October 2024 at which the following business will be transacted:
Ordinary Resolutions:
- That the individuals selected to be Corporate members of the Board by the members pursuant to the ballot be appointed as Corporate members of the Board.
- That the individual selected to be an Other* member of the Board by the members pursuant to the ballot be appointed an Other member of the Board.
- To receive and adopt the summary financial statements for the Association for the year ended 31 December 2023.
- To reappoint Armstrong Watson as Auditors of the Association and to authorise the Board to determine their remuneration.
(*Other members are defined as Associate or Network members)
With regard to the election to the BIA Board, a number of directors have stepped down, or are retiring by rotation or have indicated that they do not wish to stand for re-election. As a result, there are four vacancies for Corporate members of the Board and one for Other members.
There are eight candidates standing for election to the Board as Corporate members and five candidates standing for election to the Board as Other members, so a ballot is necessary. Members are asked to approve the appointment or re-appointment (as applicable) of the candidates selected pursuant to the ballot.
Please adhere to the instructions carefully so that your vote counts and your vote must reach the BIA by 17:00 hours on 18 October.
The candidates who will be put forward for formal election will be announced at the AGM. (Please remember that only one Ballot Paper may be completed by each member organisation and that only fully paid Corporate, Associate and Network members are entitled to vote.)
