Plenary Meeting

While motions on the floor will be received during the plenary, written resolutions and any supporting material should, if at all possible, be submitted to Executive Director Jack Illingworth by June 2, 2025. Due to the limitations of online meetings and limited meeting time, this advance notice allows members time to consider resolutions being brought forward for voting and share questions in advance as needed.

Members who are unable to join the online meeting may appoint a proxy voter for their firm. Please email Ishta Mercurio appoint your proxy.

The meeting delegate kit, including our Annual Report Book and a list of resolutions for voting, will be distributed by email to all members and linked in our Member Portal the week before the plenary.
