ALL IHBC members with a say at the online AGM on 3 December are called on to vote in advance ‘by proxy’, even if attending – votes during the AGM take precedence, allowing for changed positions – and ‘help the IHBC move past the pandemic’ by modernising our governance and planning our future.
… Proxy voting ensures your vote is in place even if circumstances mean you can’t join in on the day…
… votes in the meeting can supersede the proxy … if you want to change a position…
The IHBC’s 2020 AGM will consider important new resolutions on modernising governance and corporate planning. Full and Retired IHBC members are entitled to vote, and are encouraged to do so ‘by proxy’ in advance, even if attending, as votes in the meeting can supersede the proxy where required:
-
- ONLINE SHORT PROXY FORM – to vest authority in the AGM Chair, IHBC President Mike Brown
- DOWNLOAD LONG PROXY DOCUMENT – to instruct a proxy (including the AGM Chair) to cast a vote as directed.
IHBC Director Sean O’Reilly said: ‘Voting by proxy at the 2020 AGM is strongly encouraged for all members entitled to vote – including those hoping to join us on 3 December at the AGM itself.’
‘Proxy voting ensures your vote is in place even if circumstances mean you can’t join in on the day – a special concern in these trying times – while if you want to change a position, you can still vote in the meeting itself.’
‘Creating a proxy with the us can be the simplest of processes, with details on our AGM webpage. So please make sure you vote, and help the IHBC move past the pandemic.’
