The full programme of IHBC CPD for the AGM will open at 5.30pm with a talk by Dr Robyn Pender entitled ‘Taming the elephant in the room: ‘Why exactly are we using so much energy in buildings in the first place’?
Dr Pender recently retired from the Building Climate Adaptation Team at Historic England, having been a Senior Building Conservation Advisor there and at English Heritage since 2005. Robyn is currently a Director at the ‘climate emergency’ training and research consultancy, Whethergauge. You can find more background to her work and presentation on our NewsBlog update HERE.
AGM: From 6.00pm
In line with our new Articles, business will include:
- The consideration of the accounts, balance sheets, reports of the Board (including the annual report) and auditors;
- The retirement, appointment or re-appointment of Directors, our Trustees;
- The appointment of the auditors;
- Elections to the Board and;
- Resolution: That the IHBC Board submit a memorandum (informally referred to as a ‘Letter of Intent’) to the Privy Council Office as described in the ‘Covering Report’ submitted to the AGM, to determine any prospective barriers to and/or requirements arising in any Petition, and return to the membership with recommendations and guidance as appropriate.

Following the business of the meeting there will be an opportunity to raise, discuss and explore current issues of interest to members with officers and members.
As the AGM is a critical moment in our cycle of governance, all categories of membership are strongly encouraged to attend.
Among ordinary business matters at the AGM, our accredited members – that is Associates, Full Members and Retired – will vote on the election of our new Board of Trustees. Members will also be asked to vote on the proposals in the Resolution linked to the next steps on the exploration of an IHBC Petition for Charter, the submission of a ‘memorandum’ on the IHBC to the Privy Council Office to understand its views the matter.
Detailed content of the 2024 AGM will be notified in a forthcoming full Agenda, and will include the ‘Trustees report’ for 2021-22 – as the next report due for approval – as well as the names of trustees going forward for election and updates on current operations.
Remember too that while all IHBC members of all categories are encouraged to attend the AGM – with IHBC CPD certificates available on request, reflecting the status of the business – only Full, Associates and Retired members may vote.
Voting by proxy will be available to qualifying members who cannot attend, or who want to vote in advance. More information will be published in due course.
