If a resolution item is included on the AGM agenda, the member may be requested to talk on the matter at the AGM. The following discussion will be minuted and if necessary, a postal ballot will be arrange after the AGM to enable the voting Division of Clinical Psychology – West Midlands Branch membership to vote on the resolution item, if a postal ballot has not been undertaken prior to the meeting.

Please note that only members with voting rights are able to raise resolution items.

Please note that only items that are included on the AGM agenda may be discussed; there is no ‘any other business’ at this type of General Meeting.
