Topics for discussion at the AGM
The Board of UNA-UK has agreed that all paid-up and honorary members of UNA-UK should be given an opportunity to propose topics for discussion at the AGM. The topics for discussion must focus on general management and governance and should not be policy proposals, as these are considered at policy conferences. The process for submissions can be downloaded by clicking here.
Eligible submissions will be posted on the UNA-UK website ahead of the AGM. Hard copies will be available at the meeting.
Paid-up and honorary members are free to raise issues at the meeting but prior notification through this process will support the allocation of sufficient time for discussion.
The deadline for submission is 21 March 2014.
Distinguished Service Awards
As in previous years, the 2014 Distinguished Service Awards will be presented at the AGM.
The committees of all UNA nations and regions are invited to make nominations for these awards, which must include a citation of no more than 300 words on why the person has been nominated, and must be signed by two officers of the regional or national committee in question. If there is no regional committee in your area, two branch officers should sign the citation.
These must be sent via email to membership@una.org.uk no later than noon on Friday 21 March. Nominees will be published on the UNA-UK website in due course.
