IHBC issues formal notice for 2025 AGM: 13 May 2025, 5.30pm for 6pm start, online

IHBC Chair David McDonald has written to all members of the IHBC with the date of and guidance on the 2025 AGM, to take place online on Tuesday 13 May 2024 at 6pm, with the full programme starting at 5.30pm’, so if you have not received your notice, check your email trash first, and contact IHBC Company Secretary Lydia Porter at admin@ihbc.org.uk as needed.

David McDonald writes:

… In line with our new Articles, business will include:

  • The consideration of the accounts, balance sheets, reports of the Board (including the annual report) and auditors;
  • The retirement, appointment or re-appointment of Directors, our Trustees
  • The appointment of the auditors, and
  • Elections to the Board, under our new Articles, as discussed below.

As the AGM is a critical moment in our cycle of governance, all members of any category are of course encouraged to attend.

Further details of the 2025 AGM will be notified to members in our forthcoming digital suite of AGM Papers, and will include the ‘Trustees’ report’ for the financial year 2022-23 – as the next report due for members – while also updating on current operations.

Among other business matters at the AGM, our accredited members – that is Associates, Full Members and Retired – will elect new members of our Board of Trustees.  Nominations are sought for vacant posts, especially to address current gaps: early and mid-career; diversity; fundraising or marketing experience.  Formal roles and posts are open to accredited members only, and subject to the timely receipt of nominations by the closing date of 2 April.  There is more background on how to prepare for nomination and service as Trustee on our NewsBlog guidance HERE

While IHBC members of all categories are always encouraged to attend the AGM – with IHBC CPD certificates on offer too, to reflect the status of the business – only accredited members (Full, Associate and Retired) are entitled to vote.  Voting by proxy is always recommended, to save both administrative costs and address potential technical issues on the day, with details pending.

So please be sure to extend your engagement with the modern IHBC and, if you can, please join us from 5.30pm on Tuesday 13 May.
