Future options for voting on resolutions put to CIfA General Meetings

At the last CIfA AGM, the Board of Directors made a commitment to review voting procedures on resolutions at General Meetings following concerns raised by CIfA members, via a petition, about the current process, and in particular about the absence of opportunity for those unable to attend the AGM to cast a vote.

As part of this review the Board agreed to consult the membership on options for change, and implement the results of this consultation before any future general meeting takes place.

This survey forms the first part of this process: we would ask members to give their initial indication of a preferred future system. Based on the results of the survey, the Advisory Council and Board of Directors will review any constitutional amendments needed to implement the preferred option.
