Before and after the AGM itself, there will be a chance to network with each other and with VANEL staff and trustees. Staff will be available between 11am and 1pm.

You will be able to learn about our projects and programmes, our support work and services to members.  Talk to staff about the Volunteer Development Service, Supporting Volunteers Awards or other volunteering support.  Find out more about Blue Lights Brigade. Chat about MOVE and our other employability support programmes.  Ask about DBS or payroll services. Find out about development support you can tap into such as governance & trusteeship, funding support, technology support and more.

The Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company (Voluntary Action North East Lincolnshire) requires its members to elect an Executive Committee at its Annual General Meeting (AGM). The Executive Committee should have at least five members and not more than fifteen members.

We therefore need a maximum of fifteen nominations for members of the Executive Committee. Nominations must be from an organisation that is currently a Member of Voluntary Action North East Lincolnshire (VANEL).

The Honorary Officers, namely Chair, Vice-Chair, Treasurer and Minute Secretary will be elected from amongst their number at the first meeting of the Executive Committee following the Annual General Meeting.

Please note that all new Trustees will be interviewed and subjected to checks for entitlement to be a Trustee.
