Lambeth UNISON Annual General Meeting details
How You Can Get Involved
In January we will hold the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of our UNISON Branch. This is an important meeting at which we will elect the officers for the coming year and agree our policies.
As we have for the past couple of years we will organise a “rolling” AGM to maximise the opportunities for members to attend, with a main session (for which we will ask the Council for paid time off work) at lunchtime on Thursday 26 January, and two additional sessions in the days beforehand – one at the College and one (aimed particularly at school staff) after work at International House.
Activists
Our UNISON Branch has many enthusiastic activists – but we are always looking for more people to get involved and share the work! You can read about the branch officer positions which will be elected at our AGM on the UNISON website
The Branch Committee has agreed a timetable for the AGM and the important dates to note now are;
- Monday 24 October – publication of notice of the AGM to all members;
- Tuesday 6 December (5pm) – deadline for nominations;
- Thursday 26 January 2017 (lunchtime) – AGM at Karibu Centre.
