Annual General Meeting (AGM) 2026
Date: Thursday 23 July 2026
The IWFM Annual General Meeting (AGM) is an important opportunity for members to hear directly from the Board, ask questions, and play an active role in shaping the future direction of the Institute.
This year’s AGM will take place on Thursday 23 July 2026 at 2pm and will be held as a hybrid event, allowing members to attend either in person or online.
The formal notice of the AGM, including details of the resolutions to be considered and the nominees for this year’s two elected Non-Executive Director (NED) roles, will be issued to eligible voting members during the week commencing 08 June 2026.
Voting will open on 22 June 2026. Voting for the NED elections will close on 17 July 2026, and voting for the resolutions will close on 21 July 2026. Eligible members will be able to cast their vote in advance during this period or appoint a proxy if they are unable to attend the AGM.
Voting for the NED elections is conducted in advance only and will not be available during the AGM. The results of the NED elections will be announced at the AGM.
Voting on the resolutions may be completed in advance via the voting platform or by proxy. Members who have not voted in advance will also be able to vote live during the AGM.
Ahead of voting opening, eligible members will receive an email from UK Engage, our independent scrutineers, containing a unique voting link. This will provide access to the secure voting platform where members can cast their vote or nominate a proxy.
If you submit your vote in advance, including by proxy, you will not be able to vote again during the AGM.
Members will also receive a separate joining link from UK Engage to access the live webinar. To take part, you will need access to a smartphone, tablet or computer with an internet connection. Without this, you will not be able to join the meeting or participate in voting.
We recommend keeping an eye out for communications from UK Engage and adding them to your approved senders list to ensure you receive your voting and registration details without interruption.
