It is the time of the year again for Annual General Meeting. Our AGM will feature an Outgoing Committee’s report, Hustings for Incoming Committee 2012/13 and an Open Debate. With 5 Presidential Candidates in the running for the President Post this year, I assure you that hustings would be nothing short of entertaining.

Date: Wednesday, 14 March 2012
Time: 7pm – 10pm
Venue: Mong Hall, Sidney Sussex College

Light refreshments will be served during the AGM.

Manifestos for all candidates will be sent out once the deadline closes tomorrow. It is still not too late for you to declare your interest and submit your manifesto to run for a position, especially for General Committee which is still empty as of now.

Please register here if you are interested in attending the AGM. Please note that the AGM is for CUMaS members only and we need people to sign up to meet quorum, if not the AGM will not be valid.

We will be voting on

1) Elections for the Incoming Executive Committee and General Committee; and
2) Motions tabled.

Proxy voting: Members who are unable to attend the AGM are invited to vote by proxy.

As it is essential that we meet quorum for the AGM, we would really encourage those who are unable to attend to email secretary [at] cumas.org to arrange for voting via proxy .

If you wish to submit motions for open debate during AGM, please email secretary [at] cumas.org. Please include a proposer and seconder for each motion submitted for debate. The deadline for submission is Wednesday, 7 March 2012.
