MA Council proposing governance changes
Geraldine Kendall, 17.08.2010
Your vote on the radical changes will be vital at this year's AGM in October
The Annual Report 2009/10, published this week, outlines radical changes proposed by the MA Council to the association's governance and constitution.
Along with the usual information about the MA’s financial performance, this year’s report details a number of far-reaching proposals, including a simpler structure, a more dynamic board, regular members meetings, enhanced communications and new member correspondents.
The MA Council hopes these changes will provide a governance structure for the 21st century and create new ways to represent and communicate with members.
MA director Mark Taylor said: “We aim to deliver more of what our members have told us they want – in particular stronger advocacy and lobbying, and an increased dialogue with our members.”
Institutional and individual members will have the opportunity to vote on the proposals at this year’s Annual General Meeting at the MA Conference in Manchester on 4 October 2010.
Members who are unable to attend may nominate a proxy to vote on their behalf.
