A.O.C.B. • AGM 2021 Feedback – All agreed that this had gone well given the circumstances of this being our first Virtual one. SB suggested and all agreed that LHM should forward a Vote of Thanks to our outgoing Chair Bill Chapman. It was also agreed that SMcL should also send one on behalf of the Scottish Government. • Constution – SMcL stated that she would forward this with the agreed amendment to CS and LHM for signature and it would be posted on our Website and Basecamp thereafter. • Code of Conduct – SMcL advised that she would be emailing this to all for our return agreement as this would be taken as our signature to same. • Updated Contact List – SMcL will also be forwarding this to all for agreement. • New Members Induction Pack – SMcL advised that she had arranged for this to be forwarded to LR and SMcA. • SHR Liaison Group – LHM raised this as there was a vacant place at Region 1 and for all to think on this for our next Meeting on 9th July 2021. AM then advised that he wished to withdraw from this Group so now we have two places available. Both LR and SMcA showed an interest in this so LHM will send details for the Pre-Agenda Meeting on 6th July 2021 to give them a ‘taster’. |
