IOSH Launches New Member Grade

IOSH annual general meeting (AGM) will be held virtually on Wednesday 13 November at 13:00 GMT.

IOSH members can register to attend. If you want to ask a question, please submit this in advance when registering. There’s a limit of 3,000 attendees, so only sign up if you’re able to come.

What’s on the agenda?

At this year’s AGM, we will:

  • review and consider the Annual Report
  • confirm the roles of the IOSH President, President-Elect, and Immediate Past President
  • approve ordinary resolutions on appointing auditors and Vice-Presidents
  • vote on two special resolutions to approve changes to our bylaws.

What are the special resolutions about?

The special resolutions are because we want to update our bylaws following reviews of our:

  • Council and Presidential team
  • member networks, including branches and groups.

Based on the outcome of the reviews, we are proposing to:

  • reduce the size of the Council to 12 members
  • change the selection process for the Council from an election to an appointment system
  • make the eligibility criteria the same for Vice-President and President-Elect
  • make the Immediate Past President an honorary role.
  • move to a community-based approach to building member networks.

If the special resolutions are passed at the AGM, we’ll be able to ask the Privy Council for permission to update our bylaws and then start making these changes.
