DESCRIPTION:INVITATION\nANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 31 MAY 2023\nDear members \nYou are cordially invited to attend PEG’s national AGM on Wednesday 31 May 2023 via Zoom. This has been scheduled to take place in the morning before the start of our 30th Anniversary conference that afternoon. \n1. Time and venue/medium\nThis year’s AGM will be held on Zoom. Echelon Link will host the platform for PEG and a link will be forwarded to members beforehand. Registration will start from 10:00. \nDate: Wednesday 31 May 2023 \nTime: 10:30\, with registration starting from 10:00 \nMembers who intend attending the national AGM must send their confirmation to Ellyn Barry\, to be received by her no later than 13:00 on Friday 19 May 2023. \n2.

Adoption of the minutes of the previous year’s AGM\nThe minutes of the last AGM\, held via Zoom on Saturday\, 28 May 2022\, will be adopted at this year’s meeting. The minutes have been attached to the same email as this invitation. Any corrections to the minutes should be forwarded to Sally Hofmeyr by Friday 19 May 2022. \n4. Regional activities 2023\nPEG regions have resumed in-person meetings in the Western Cape\, KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng. The Eastern Cape region has maintained a strong online presence among members. In view of the fact that\, as a result of COVID-19\, in-person events were suspended and online interactions gained momentum\, it has been agreed by the Executive Committee that each region will decide on the manner in which their activities will be organised\, that is\, through formal committee structures or less formal working groups. Nominations for representatives or formal portfolio holders will take place among regional members at their regional AGMs. These decisions will be communicated in the annual report which will be distributed prior to the national AGM. We have four active regions currently and would welcome any member offering their time to initiate similar activities in other regions. A nomination form can be submitted if you would like to be involved in this capacity or if you would like to nominate a member. \n5. Election of national office-bearers\nA number of the portfolio positions on the Executive Committee (Exco) will become vacant at the AGM. Exco members are elected to serve a three-year term.
