We are delighted to inform members that the Annual General Meeting of Directors UK will take place online at 6pm on Tuesday 13 July 2021.

The AGM will be conducted as a virtual meeting, with members only able to attend virtually via video conference.

We do hope you will be able to join us at this year’s online AGM. If you would like to attend via video conference, please RSVP through the website.

This year we are asking members to vote in elections for the Directors UK Board and on various AGM motions, with both votes taking place ahead of the AGM.

Members are asked to vote for the following board positions:

• 8 general board seats
• 1 Nations and Regions Committee Chair
• 1 Associate member representative
• 1 Successor member representative

You can view all the candidate statements at the voting link below, where you can also find out more about the AGM motions.

We have had an unprecedented number of candidates this year, with over 50 people standing across the different contests, so we would advise taking the time to look at the full list of nominees, as well as their personal statements and other information. To view all of the candidates in one booklet, please click here. You can return to the voting site as many times as you like before submitting your votes.

No votes will be taken at the AGM itself – you are requested and encouraged to participate in the meeting electronically and all members are invited to vote online in advance for the Board elections and on the motions that will be presented at the AGM. The voting period will close BEFORE the event, at 10.30am on Monday 12 July 2021.

Alternatively, for the motion voting only, members can nominate the Chair to vote as a proxy on their behalf by downloading and returning a proxy form.

To vote online, or appoint a proxy, please visit www.mi-vote.com and enter your unique voting code, which you should have received via email or post.
