… IHBC’s ‘Membership Matters’ reports on recent work from the IHBC’s Board of Trustees and Directors, with this issue covering the period from later September 2021 to January 2022.
Through Membership Matters the IHBC provides member-focussed context to ongoing issues, much already announced – and with more detail – on our NewsBlog news service.
Since our last issue the Board has been focussed on a wide range of risks and resource management, while overseeing responses to opportunities and operations!
AGM: 24 February 2022 – proxies, booking and IHBC@COP2
… members are encouraged to submit proxies for their AGM votes…
Mostly substantial have been any linked to the next stage of our governance under the new Articles of Association: culminating soon in the AGM on 24 February and preceding Council. Remember too that you can book or send apologies now.
In any case, eligible members are encouraged to submit proxies for their AGM votes, most conveniently as our Short Proxy HERE.
With posts for all nominated volunteers for the Board, as listed in
our NewsBlog and the 2022 AGM Papers recently emailed to you, the next step forward will be at the AGM and their appointment as trustees of the charity and company directors. If you have not received them please do contact Lydia Porter at admin@ihbc.org.uk.
… Board also held its first blended Board meeting….in December….critical test for future blended and hybrid meetings…
If all that weighty bureaucracy of governance might seem less relevant to the pandemic-shaped priorities facing many members, it is worth remembering that these matters remain fundamental to delivering the Corporate Plan for 2020-25 (‘CP25’), not least in the face of the pandemic itself.

That served as THE critical test for future blended and hybrid meetings in the IHBC, including the 2022 Annual school in Aberdeen in June, on which more below.
Intimately linked to these matters also has been the Board’s direct support for the most extensive single programme of support and learning on which the IHBC has ever led: our IHBC@COP26 educational, CPD and advocacy service. That is outlined below and detailed in the forthcoming issues of Context and the Yearbook….
The issue also reports on:
- Board: Outline activities
- Trustees and Directors: Additional business
- New and newly accredited members
- Branch updates, reports and our Branch Events…
- Getting involved
