Commission and Provincial Executives AGMs ideally should be held in advance of the main company AGM in order to facilitate submission of motions arising from Commission/Provincial Executive AGMs to the main company AGM.  Commissions and Provincial Executives are reminded that the standard requirement for final notice of Commission and Provincial Executive AGMs is 21 days, this would require Commissions/Provincial Executives to issue preliminary notice of their AGM and invite motions and nominations for vacant posts in sufficient time so as to be included on the final notice of their AGM.
