Just received all the details on the AAT AGM and wondered how many members actually read all this and vote?

    I don't vote - how can I if I don't know any of the candidates?

    You should vote if you can, all of the candidates should have a profile and election statement. This is your chance to shape who runs the AAT for you.

    I read through it last time, I'll do the same and probably vote this time, seeing as I'm taking a bit more interest in the politics of it all.

    I try to. It really does pay off - in Plymouth we have our Branch Chair on the AAT council which is great for feeding things back to the AAT.

    One of the current candidates in this years pack is Vernon Anderson - he was chair of the Cornwall branch & did a great job of setting things up. A really motivated, friendly and positive person. If anyone has a vote going spare I can really recommend him!

    I now realise why this thread was opened; found the AGM stuff on the doormat this morning!

    Pete, I fancy running next year too. I was involved with a Working Party meeting last month and really quite enjoyed it and might be interested in getting more involved.

    That said, I'm actually going to read the AGM stuff and vote!!

    > How long is a piece of string?
  • BCASL
    BCASL Registered Posts: 64 Regular contributor ⭐

    Ah no it doesn't!

    A piece of string will always be twice as long from the middle to the end!!!

    Voting

    Reading this has made me decide to actually read the AGM pack and vote this year, not just put the stuff in a pile and then discard it without looking at it properly.

    Thanks everyone

    I read it and voted over the weekend.
    I feel all warm and fuzzy inside now, knowing I did the voting bit...



    Or maybe not!
    Anyways, I voted and I think it's important, but I also think it's hard to vote if you don't really know who the people are.

    I started this thread, but I still haven't read the paperwork - must get to that now that I have heard such positive comments from so many others.
