SoA Annual General Meeting 2026

Join us online this November for our 2026 Annual General Meeting (AGM) hosted via Zoom. The AGM is conducted online to allow access to as many members as possible.

Your votes and participation are important to us. We encourage all Full Members to vote at the AGM or to appoint a proxy and register a voting instruction in advance. Associate Members are encouraged to attend but cannot vote. 

Voting is managed securely and confidentially by Mi-Voice. They will contact all Full Members with instructions on how to vote, both on the day or in advance by appointing a proxy to vote on your behalf if you are unable to attend the AGM. If we have an email address on file for you, Mi-Voice will email you directly. If we only have your postal address, they will send you printed voting instructions. 

At the AGM, resolutions are put to a vote via electronic poll. If you have voted by proxy, you may attend the AGM but you will be unable to vote.
