Hello all,

I'm creating this issue so that we can begin to draft our agenda for July's BoT meeting. Please feel free to edit this agenda, and add further Items for discussion below

In line with Trustees' duties, as summarised in Section 2 of The Essential Trustee Guidance, I'd like to ask that new agenda Items are added in advance of the meeting so that all attendees have sufficient time to prepare their thoughts ahead of our meeting. Thank you for committing energy to your role, and thank you in advance for actively participating in our discussions.

    1. Approval of Minutes from last meeting & actions status.
    1. ProgHist Directors administration (e.g., changes of address)

Notes

Per our Articles of Association (hit 'View PDF' link) and gov.uk notes on running a company a few notes in terms of procedure for the meeting:

  • our quorum is 3 (Article 9.1) and our max size 7 (Article 13)
  • we vote, and in split decisions the chair has the casting vote (Article 10.1)
  • we need to keep records of decisions (Article 12) and resolutions (GovUK)**
