AMRC Annual General Meeting (AGM) 2026 — what members need to know

AMRC invites all members, introductory members, and supporters to join the AGM on Zoom. The meeting is accessible to the wider membership, but attendance does not automatically confer voting rights. Only a charity's nominated formal representative, its CEO, or a formally appointed proxy will be counted toward the meeting's quorum and will be eligible to vote.

• Aisling Burnand Award: the winner of the 2026 Aisling Burnand Award will be announced during the AGM.
• Governance: the meeting will confirm the appointment of three new member trustees to AMRC's Executive Council.

What members should check before the meeting

• Confirm voting eligibility: verify who your charity has nominated as its formal representative, whether the CEO will represent the organisation, or if a proxy must be appointed.
• Register on Zoom: complete the AGM registration so you receive the joining link and any meeting materials.
• Prepare questions in advance: if members want to raise issues during the meeting, check whether AMRC has a process for submitting questions or statements ahead of time (the meeting page and registration form are the places to look for that information).

Why this matters to member charities

The AGM is AMRC's formal annual governance forum. The approval of trustee appointments shapes Executive Council membership for the coming year. The year-in-review provides a snapshot of AMRC priorities and work that may affect members' engagement with collective initiatives. The Aisling Burnand Award announcement recognizes notable contribution within the sector and is a public-facing part of the meeting's agenda.

Register to attend via the Zoom registration provided by AMRC. Check your charity's nominated representative and proxy arrangements if you plan to vote. Review any pre-circulated AGM papers or governance documents once AMRC releases them, so you arrive prepared for the meeting.

Members should use the AMRC website's AGM page to register and to look for any updates or documents released before the meeting. The AGM page will be the primary source of official details and the registration link.
