Registration is now open for IABA’s Annual General Meeting, which is scheduled to take place in Belfast, on November 28, in person and by means of electronic communications (Zoom) technology as permitted by the Companies (Miscellaneous Provisions) (Covid-19) Act 2020.
AGM In-Person Attendance
All affiliated clubs are invited to attend the IABA 2021 Annual General Meeting (AGM), via Zoom or in person at the Balmoral Hotel, Blacks Road, Dunmurry, Belfast BT10 0NF.
The AGM begins at 11.30am on Sunday, November 28th.
2 delegate members from every affiliated club are entitled to attend the AGM, one member with voting rights and one member without. In-person attendees can register here
Mindful of public health advice on the Covid 19 pandemic, and potential changes to travel and social distancing restrictions, the IABA may, at short notice, be unable to hold this year’s AGM in a traditional face-to-face format. If that is the case, the IABA will endeavour to host a virtual only AGM on the same date and time.
AGM Remote Attendance
All affiliated club delegates attending remotely are advised to set up a Zoom account well before the AGM. IABA has published a how-to guide on setting up a Zoom account here: http://iaba.ie/site3/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Instructions-for-setting-up-a-Zoom-Account.docx.
Zoom attendees can register here
Please note that in order to confirm numbers, registration will close on Thursday 24th November at 12pm. Only registered and affiliated IABA members will be permitted to attend the AGM.
