Welcome from CSP's President, Baroness Finlay of Llandaff
It will be my pleasure to welcome all members to the CSP Annual General Meeting (AGM) being held in person at 12.40pm on Saturday 12 October 2024 at the Manchester Central Convention Complex.
This will be our first in-person AGM since 2019, and I am looking forward to seeing members in real life again.
The AGM is being held within the lunch break on day two of the CSP’s Annual Conference, from 12.40 to 13.25 on Saturday 12 October for 45 minutes.
At the AGM, you will hear from Ishmael Beckford (chair of Council), John Cowman (CSP chief executive), Alex Mackenzie (vice-president) and myself (CSP president). We will share our thoughts on the highlights and upcoming priorities.
Message from Ishmael Beckford, CSP's chair of Council
The AGM is an important date in the CSP calendar for members to hear about the performance of the CSP and what we have achieved together. Members can send in questions in advance of the meeting via the registration form, about any of the resolutions and any aspect of the CSP’s and Council’s activities.
The CSP is a member-led organisation and this is your opportunity to ensure that your elected Council members are leading the profession appropriately and to question us and the CSP leadership team on the performance of the organisation.
Details on how to register for the AGM, vote by proxy, and join the live broadcast have been shared above.
Below you will find details of the AGM agenda and all the relevant documents that will be referred to in the meeting, along with explanatory notes on the resolutions and some FAQs.
Please use this opportunity to participate and vote so you can influence the future of the physiotherapy profession. Your engagement is key to ensuring the actions we take in leading the profession and holding the CSP to account as an organisation are as informed as possible.
If you have any questions, please get in touch with one of the Council members or CSP governance team who will be happy to help – email governance@csp.org.uk.
