AGM Documents
All the AGM 2021 documents are now available to view on the SIBA Toolbox. Please login to the Toolbox and on the homepage you will see a box titled “SIBA AGM 2021 – Documents”, in here you will find a number of documents which you can download.
Speaking on Resolutions
This year the challenges of holding a virtual AGM / Conference integrated with a robust voting platform mean that only the proposers and seconders of resolutions along with the Chairman, the Chief Executive and the Company Secretary will be live via Zoom. There will be an unavoidable 20-30 second delay between presenters speaking and the live video stream seen by members on the Civica platform.
To avoid delays and “dead air”, we are asking members who wish to contribute to debates to use the Q & A / Chat function on the Civica platform. These views, comments or questions will be passed to myself as Chair to read out on your behalf.
If you know in advance that you wish to speak live on a resolution, please let the Company Secretary – sara.knox@siba.co.uk know in advance to express your interest in doing so. This will allow us to share with you the relevant Zoom video link to join the live feed at the appropriate time.
If you decide on the day that you wish to contribute in person you are asked to express that interest as early as possible via the Q&A / Chat link on the Civica platform. We will endeavour to accommodate your wishes but as the Standing Orders make clear it will be at the Chair’s discretion as to how many speakers will be called to speak on any resolution.
