Members are invited to join National Voices trustees and staff for a drinks reception.

Who should attend?

The AGM is open to National Voices members at all levels, though only full members have voting rights.

Why should you attend?

The formal AGM gives you an important opportunity to hold National Voices to account for the work we do with you and on your behalf. This year we will hold a special session on our influencing strategy for the year ahead, and are seeking your views. The whole event, including the reception at the end, provides an excellent opportunity for informal networking and we hope to see you there on 28 Sept.
