\"\"The IHBC is opening a programme of membership-wide, on-line discussions beginning with the next steps in our modernised governance, as new \u2018Articles<\/a>\u2019 are proposed for adoption at the 2020 AGM on 3 December (#IHBCAGM2020), so if you have queries to explore with us, \u2018Just ask the IHBC\u2019: start by sending us preferred times and queries, and we\u2019ll sort a programme offering the best available officers to answer your questions.<\/h3>\n

‘…we\u2019re opening online discussions…’<\/span><\/em><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

IHBC President Mike Brown, who will Chair the 2020 AGM, said: \u2018After a long period of review and deliberation, I am delighted that we are now ready to recast our governance \u2013 through new \u2018Articles\u2019 being proposed for adoption by Special Resolution in December \u2013 in line with the plan agreed at the 2019 AGM, the \u2018Proposal for future governance of the Institute\u2019<\/em><\/a>.\u2019<\/p>\n

…ready to recast our governance \u2013 through new \u2018Articles\u2019…<\/span><\/em><\/h2>\n

\u2018We have had a huge amount of invaluable help from our legal advisers in drawing up the new \u2018Articles\u2019.\u00a0 I am particularly pleased to be able to confirm that these reflect not only the specific terms of those \u2018Proposals\u2026<\/em>\u2019 from 2019, but also their spirit, and that of the \u2018IHBC+<\/a>\u2019 programme that inspired them.\u2019<\/p>\n

IHBC Director Sean O\u2019Reilly said: \u2018Trustees are keen to make sure all members remain informed and fully supportive as we take the next step in delivering the changes agreed in the 2019 AGM.\u00a0 So now we\u2019re opening online discussions with those officers best able and most available to answer queries and questions, and at the times that suit most members most.\u2019<\/p>\n

‘…get the right IHBC officers in place for the queries…’<\/span><\/em><\/h2>\n

\u2018If you have points to explore about our new governance, or questions on the Articles themselves, we want to do all we can to address them, and as efficiently as possible for all of course.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018So the first step for members \u2013 especially Full Members (including Retired), as the only category allowed to vote \u2013 is simply to SIGN UP<\/a> (and we\u2019ll do our best to get the right IHBC officers in place for the queries and times that suit most.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Remember too that numbers will be limited, while some aspects may need more specialist advice, so best get your times in as early as possible.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Of course if as a voting member you are already content to support the \u2018Articles\u2019 as drafted, then all you need do is be sure to support the resolution either at the AGM, or by proxy in advance.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018The detailed arrangements are still being planned, but we will get the arrangements out on our NewsBlogs as soon as we can.\u2019<\/p>\n
