What is an AGM?
Most organisations will hold an AGM on a yearly basis, as required by the law, or by their constitution, charter and/or bye-laws.
At the Law Society, the AGM happens so our Council can discuss the governance of our organisation, report back to our members on our activities, receive our annual report and approve our accounts as signed by our auditors.
Council will also discuss matters related to our strategic direction, and any other business consistent with our charter and bye-laws.
Newly elected and re-elected Council members take their seats at the start of the AGM.
Any motions that were raised by our members ahead of the meeting will be discussed.
What to expect on the day
The meeting will be chaired by our outgoing president, Nick Emmerson.
The agenda for the meeting will be:
- approval of the minutes of the 2023 AGM
- approval of the minutes of the 2024 special general meeting
- declaration of newly elected and re-elected Council members
- reception of the annual report and approval of the accounts signed by the auditors
- redesignation of characteristic Council seats
- ratification of recommendations made by the Council Working Group on expenses and payments other than expenses, together with required changes to bye-laws
