ACT Shelter Special General Meeting and AGM

ACT Shelter members are invited to join us for our 2026 Annual General Meeting (AGM) and Special General Meeting (SGM). 

The AGM will follow straight after the SGM, in a single online session.

MEETING DETAILS

Date:  Monday 23 November 2026

Time:  12:30-1.30pm

Format: Teams meeting (online)

The 2026 AGM will start immediately after the SGM closes, using the same link.

PLEASE REGISTER BY 9AM MONDAY 23 NOVEMBER

Once you register we will email you the Teams link to join the meeting.

What members will decide

Special General Meeting: whether to adopt new Rules of Association by special resolution. The new Rules modernise how ACT Shelter is governed. They introduce membership classes, make it easier to join, give the Executive Committee 2-year staggered terms and a term limit, and align our Rules with charity law. Our objects are unchanged. The resolution needs at least 75% of votes cast to pass.

Annual General Meeting: the usual annual business, including the Chair’s, CEO’s and Treasurer’s reports; the 2025–26 audited financial statements; and the election of the Executive Committee.
