Currently, we run two financial reports, one in May for the AGM, and the official one (for companies house) at the end of September. Most organisations only do the official one.
This change proposes moving our AGM to match our financial reporting, as the date for that is fixed by Companies House. This would involve decoupling our trustee elections from the AGM itself, but as these are now electronic they will happen as normal.
For this reason, the following changes are proposed (for reference, see the Current Constitution):
Point 2.1
Currently
An Annual General Meeting (AGM) must take place each calendar year, towards the end of May.
Proposed
An Annual General Meeting (AGM) must take place each calendar year, within 3 months of the end of Nottinghack's financial year.
Point 2.5.4
Currently
Normal Elections for vacant trustee positions must happen around the time of the AGM, and no later than 2 weeks after the AGM.
Proposed
Normal Elections for vacant trustee positions must happen within May, and will include all positions that will become vacant in that month.
Point 1.2
Currently
A trustee’s term of office shall normally be two years
Proposed
A trustee’s term of office shall normally be approximately two years, from 1st June of election year, to 31st May 2 years later
