Our 36th AWARE Annual General Meeting (AGM) will be held on Saturday, 24 April 2021. It will be virtual (via Zoom), because of the continuing restrictions on large gatherings. 

We will start at 2pm and plan to wrap up the formal meeting by 3.30pm. We hope you will then stay for a virtual Town Hall, from 3.30pm to 4.30pm. 

We will soon be starting work on AWARE’s strategic plan for the next five years, and we want to hear your thoughts about the path ahead. 

So let’s have a chat about these matters after we’ve completed the formal AGM on 24 April. 

Details of the virtual AGM

The Notice for the 36th AGM can be found here and will be sent to members on 26 March 2021. The AGM is a members-only event. If any AWARE member has not received an email with the Notice of the AGM, they should contact membership@aware.org.sg.

Pursuant to the COVID-19 (Temporary Measures) (Alternative Arrangements for Meetings for Registered Societies) Order 2020, the AGM will be held as follows: 

a) Members may only attend the AGM by observing and listening to the proceedings via Zoom. Please register for the virtual AGM at tinyurl.com/awareagm2021registration by 2pm, 22 April.

b) Members will not be able to submit questions live at the AGM. Instead, all questions must be submitted in advance by email or post or via the registration page by 18 April.

c) Members may only vote BEFORE the AGM by submitting the Proxy Form online or by email or post by 2pm, 22 April. There will be no live voting during the AGM.

Please note that you may vote, using the Proxy Form, even if you are not able to attend the Virtual AGM. You may also choose to attend the Virtual AGM and not vote.

As it is not a Board election year, most of the matters for consideration at the AGM will be routine, but you will have to vote on one non-standard item, which is a resolution to pass some changes to the Constitution of AWARE. 

REMINDER: The AGM is open to AWARE members only, namely: current members, renewed members whose past membership lapsed not earlier than 24 April 2019, and new members who joined us as a member before 13 March 2021. 

If your membership has expired not more than 2 years before the General Meeting, or is close to expiry, it is time to renew it to ensure that you can attend the AGM. To check or renew your membership, login to our Membership Portal with your login name and password. 

You may contact membership@aware.org.sg if you have any questions.
