Annual General Meeting 2026
The Professional Speaking Association UK & Ireland
I am writing to formally notify you of our Annual General Meeting (AGM) which is taking place:
Monday 28th September 2026 starting at 6.30pm. We aim to finish by 7.30pm but the hard stop will be at 8.00pm. This meeting will take place online on the zoom platform.
The purpose of this AGM is to sign off on the Accounts to 30th June 2026 and to agree the budget to October 2027.
The agenda will be sent to you via email and also posted on the PSA website 14 days before the meeting (by Monday 14th September 2026).
This formal notice is being distributed via email, and it will also be available on our website at www.thepsa.co.uk /agm-2026
Every fully paid-up member is entitled to attend and vote at the AGM. Votes will be made at the meeting via the zoom voting platform. The details of each vote will be known only to our Secretariat on the evening and are otherwise confidential. There is no charge for attending. Please make sure that you register in advance:
In addition, we will also be providing a system for voting online prior to the meeting again this year, if for any reason you are unable to attend but still want to vote. You can vote via the form here.
To register, please visit our PSA Events online booking page via this link
If you have any reports or resolutions to present, they must be received by the Association Secretary at [email protected] no later than Thursday 10th September 2026, ahead of the AGM. This advance notice will give us time to organise and finalise the agenda. The details of this process can be found on the booking link above.
Your active participation in the AGM is invaluable. It offers you the opportunity to stay informed about the progress made by the Board and the PSA over the past few months. It also contributes to shaping our future plans for 2027 and beyond.
Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to seeing you at our AGM.
