Learn Sheffield AGM/EGM Reconvened

The reconvened Learn Sheffield Annual General Meeting / Extra Ordinary General Meeting was held on Tuesday 6 December 2016, 5.30pm at the Learn Sheffield Training & Development Hub. The papers for the meeting are below.

Unfortunately the first Annual General Meeting / Extra Ordinary General Meeting, which was held on Thursday 24 November 2016 (6.30 pm at the Institute of Education, Sheffield Hallam University) was inquorate due to the insufficient number of member schools / colleges in attendance.

According to the articles, a third of member schools / colleges need to be present for the AGM/EGM to be quorate and consequently, in accordance with Article 40, the AGM/EGM was reconvened.
