What is an AGM?

 

AGM or Annual General Meeting is the largest forum where students can oversee and provide opinions on the SU’s finances, affiliations, find out what the SU has done for the past year and submit a motion to determine the direction the SU will be taking forward! You will get to debate and vote on all motions submitted to the AGM. The AGM is a legal requirement for a membership-based charity and can only be attended by its members – the students.
