Hereford and Worcester Dyslexia Association
Notice of 2017 Annual General Meeting
On Wednesday 14th June 2017, at 7:00pm – 7:30pm
All members of HWDA are invited to attend our AGM
At Perdiswell Young People’s Centre, Perdiswell Park, Droitwich Road, Worcester WR5 7SN
The AGM will be followed immediately by a talk by Lorraine Peterson OBE on the current impact of SEND reforms – see here for more details of Lorraine’s talk.
It would really help the administration of the AGM (and help us ensure that we will have a valid quorum) if we know how many Members intend to attend. Therefore, please register your intention to attend Lorraine’s talk and the AGM, register on Eventbrite by going to Goo.gl/0QMjci (NB – That is a zero after the ‘/’ in the code, not a letter) – or search for ‘HWDA AGM’ at www.eventbrite.co.uk
AGM Agenda:
- To receive reports from the Committee and Trustees.
- To receive and approve the Accounts for the year ended 31 August 2016.
- To appoint Officers & elect Committee members who have expressed their willingness to serve.
- AOB
Members are invited to volunteer to stand for the Committee, or to express their willingness to help generally. We always need and welcome enthusiastic people who want to help us raise funds, assist with events, or in any other way, major or minor, whether as Committee members, or unofficially.
If you are interested, please email hwda.AGM@gmail.com or speak to one of the committee at the AGM.
