Annual General Meetings are formal affairs where I's need to be dotted and T's crossed, and as the name suggests, they are held annually. Under most constitutions an AGM is a General Meeting although the definitions can sometimes make this a little unclear.
The members (including shareholders) of the company are entitled to attend and vote at the AGM. Members can cast their votes by a physical ballot or postal ballot or through e-voting.
At the annual general meeting, the president or chairman of the organization presides over the meeting and may give an overall status of the organization. The secretary prepares the minutes and may be asked to read important papers.
AGMs are not just held by companies. For example, universities, schools, charities and unions could all be required to hold an AGM to discuss the future of the organisation or institution in question.
The board chair (president), or vice-chair (vice-president) usually runs the Annual General Meeting. They can make rulings on any issues of procedure that aren't covered in the constitution (or standing orders made under the constitution), which is pretty well all of them.
Generally speaking, annual meetings are a formal discussion of a company's goals, strategy, financial situation, proposed changes to governance documents, or other pending decisions that require a vote by or approval of the business's owners.
The chair of a meeting, also known as a chairperson, is the elected officer of an organized group, such as a board or committee. During the meeting, it is a chair's responsibility to prepare the meeting agenda, open the meeting, facilitate discussion and keep the conversation focused and balanced.
At an annual general meeting (AGM), directors of the company present the company's financial performance and shareholders vote on the issues at hand. Shareholders who do not attend the meeting in person may usually vote by proxy, which can be done online or by mail.
