CMGS and ACC merger
updates
16/12/2011 - Update provided by Nicola
Williams, CMGS secretary
|
As many of you will be aware the CMGS
balloted its membership earlier
this year to dissolve the society. Of those
members who cast their
vote, more than 96% voted in favour of
dissolution, exceeding the 66%
majority as required as detailed in the CMGS
constitution. The CMGS is
now working with the Charities Commission to
move towards dissolution.
Furthermore, the Officers of ACC Council and the
CMGS Executive
Committee are continuing to meet to discuss
dissolution and formation of
a new society. In order for the new society to
be formed, we are
required to choose a name which will enable
registration of the new
body. We want to involve ACC and CMGS members as
much as possible in
this process and are now asking members to
submit suggestions for the
new name of the society to me by email, before
31st January 2012. All
suggested names will be put to the officers of
the ACC Council and the
CMGS Executive Committee for consideration.
Shortly we will be looking for nominations for
the Chair of the new
body. David Baty (Chair of the CMGS) and Angela
Douglas (Chair of the
ACC) are working together to compile a job
description for this role,
which will be circulated to all interested
members. Once we have
nominated candidates for this role, the entire
membership of the ACC and
CMGS will be asked to cast their vote for the
position of Chair.
