• 2022 Annual General Meeting
  10 January 2022

  ACCU will be holding its 34th Annual General Meeting (AGM) at 1:30 PM (UK time) on 9th April 2022. This year, we will return to holding the AGM during the annual ACCU conference, but are planning at present to run the AGM as a hybrid event to enable those who can't make it to Bristol to participate.

  As usual, all posts are up for election. Any member can run for any post. If you are interested in standing for election to one of the committee posts, please contact me at secretary@accu.org, or any other committee member.

  Current committee roles and members can be found here.
  Short descriptions of the posts and roles can be found here.
