The AGM is an important meeting with updates on the work undertaken over the previous year by various ACAT committees with opportunities for discussion and for you to put questions to the Executive and Trustees. It is also the time when new trustees are elected to the ACAT Board.

Interim Arrangements for the consideration of resolutions to the ACAT AGM
The Board of Trustees and Council of Management members welcome members raising matters with the Board that they feel cannot be resolved by the normal decision making machinery of ACAT ( i.e. its committee structures). Items that a member feels need to be drawn to the attention of the Board that they feel have either not been resolved by this process, or those that may require direct consultation with, or a survey of, members’ opinion, or consideration by the Board for inclusion on the agenda of the next AGM should be addressed to admin@acat.me.uk .
To allow for discussion at the three Board meetings a year, the approximate deadline dates for submission will be around the 20th of January, May and September (Board meetings are held roughly February, June and October each year). However, the actual deadline date for each meeting depends on the meeting dates which will vary. We will fully publicise the closing dates for each meeting each summer once the next year’s dates are set, by a news item on the website and also by email to members. The January deadline is relevant to the annual AGM (dates vary). This statement will be also be sent out to all members via e mail prior to each deadline to act as a reminder of this process and as an invitation to put items forward.
For 2016, the Board will consider such issues raised by the 18 March, 2016 as falling within the timescale for the 2016 AGM. On this occasion, for the 2016 AGM, please email to: susanvanbaars@acat.me.uk
