 Does the thought of an Annual General Meeting (AGM) feel like just another “boring, everyday meeting”? It doesn’t have to be! We are excited to invite you to our upcoming Zoom workshop, Preparing and Running Your AGM, designed to help you reframe this legal requirement into a productive and truly energising event for your organisation.
Why Preparation is Your Best Engagement Tool
The secret to a successful AGM lies in what happens before the meeting starts. We will share engagement strategies that focus on proactive preparation, creating an environment where members feel inspired to put their hands up for roles voluntarily. Say goodbye to the days of dragging people into positions; learn how to foster a culture where your team is excited to lead.
What You’ll Learn
This short, sharp session provides practical, expert guidance to ensure your meeting is smooth and legally compliant. Join us on Zoom to gain the tools you need to build a resilient and adaptable community.
