The Society's Annual General Meeting (AGM) 2025 takes place this coming Thursday (24 April 2025, 18:00) at the Embassy of Ireland in Stockholm.
This year we will once again hold a hybrid AGM - we will meet in person at the Embassy in Stockholm but we will host the meeting online too.
Whether you plan to attend in person or online, advance registration is required. We're extending the deadline to register by 24 hours (registration is open until close of play Monday 21st April). We are requesting that all members make a special effort to attend, both to support the work of the Society, to have an active say in how the Society is run and to shape the events and broader work that it does to support our communities. The AGM is also a wonderful chance for members to meet and spend time together, to reflect and to give the Society its annual check-up!
What happens at the AGM
At the AGM, the Board will report back to the members on what has been done during the previous year, the activities that have taken place and how money has been used. The auditor will present her report and the Board will answer questions and discuss event ideas for the coming year.
The relevant formal documents including the annual accounts and the annual activity report are available for review in the members-only section of the website in advance: AGM documents
We thank the Embassy of Ireland for agreeing to host the meeting. Refreshments will be served after the meeting. We hope to see many of you there!
Elections
Elections will be held for Board positions. Regular positions are held for 2 years, and deputy positions are 1-year posts.
Eligibility and registration
Active (i.e. paid-up members, not lapsed) members are eligible to attend, and members who have joined/renewed more than 30 days prior to the meeting may vote.
75th Anniversary Commemorative Booklet
The Society has produced a very special booklet to mark its 75th anniversary. The booklet contains a unique and special selection of songs, recollections and poetry from our members to mark this special milestone. All members attending the AGM in person will receive a free printed copy of this special limited edition booklet, don't miss out.
Kind regards
Finbarr Geaney (Secretary).
