ACAT Annual General Meeting (AGM)
The 2025 AGM took place
Attendance at the AGM was free and open to all members.
The closing date for agenda items and resolutions was 22nd April 2025.
The maximum number of trustees at any one time is twelve. Currently, up to two of these twelve trustees can be lay members.
At each AGM, at least one third of trustees stand down. This is a requirement of ACAT's Memorandum and Articles of Association. Trustees standing down have the option to stand for re-election if they wish.
Voting members of ACAT (see below) can make nominations to the Board. Nominees can be full ACAT members or lay people.
Fully paid-up practitioner, psychotherapist, and life members of ACAT are eligible to nominate a trustee and vote at the AGM.
The Board of Trustees have made the decision not to recruit any new trustees at this year's Annual General Meeting. This is due to the ongoing organisational review, which the Trustees want to receive and digest before considering the next steps for the charity.
However, if you are interested in standing as a trustee in the future, please request contact with a current trustee to find out more about the role.
The AGM Booklet of Papers, containing the agenda, annual reports, and annual accounts, has been removed from the website. A digital copy may be requested from the ACAT office. As in previous years, it was not printed.
If you are a full voting member who cannot attend the AGM but wish to vote on the reports and accounts, you can appoint a proxy.
‘Voting by Proxy’ closed at noon on Tuesday, 20th May 2025. The voting form has been removed from this webpage.
