Holding your AGM – A checklist
5 years ago
This time of year, many P&C Associations will be holding their Annual General Meeting (AGM). The reasons for holding an AGM include tabling audit and other reports, holding elections, and renewing membership.
Each P&C Association is required by its Constitution to hold an AGM. The details of your AGM, such as the time and date and appointed Auditor, can be found in your P&C Association’s by-laws.
Preparing for your AGM
The list below includes some important items that need to be prepared when planning your AGM.
- Audit report prepared by an auditor
- President’s and Treasurer’s report
- Be aware of your quorum requirements
- Notice of the AGM to members
- Budget report
- Previous years’ draft minutes
- Member register
- Nominations for elections
- Membership forms
- A copy of your Constitution and by-laws
- Bank account signatory forms
