The AGI Annual General Meeting 2020 (AGM)
All AGI members where encouraged to attend the AGI which took place on the 30 November, and we were delighted with the attendee numbers
This is an important event in the AGI calendar giving our members the opportunity to hear what the AGI have been doing over the past year and our plans for the future. It was also an opportunity to hear the results of our recent member survey and to learn what we are doing, because of the feedback.
