Dear SPA members,
This is to inform you that the Annual General Meeting of the SPA will take place on the 5th of July in Belfast during the annual Social Policy Conference. More details re the timing and the venue to follow. The AGM papers, including the ballot papers, will be circulated a couple of weeks before the conference and also be available at the registration desk (as well as in the room itself).
The agenda of the AGM is slightly different this year in that Nick Ellison will chair the first half, which will contain the reports from the previous year as well as elections. The second half will be chaired by Jane Millar, the incoming SPA chair, who will use this opportunity to discuss her ideas for her term in office and to get feedback from the members. In addition, Rachael Dobson, from the University of Kingston, will take over from myself as the new Honorary Secretary of the SPA.
Thus, I would like to take the opportunity to say that it has been an honour and a pleasure to be the SPA secretary for the past six and a bit years. Rachael will do an outstanding job and I am looking forward to staying involved with the SPA more broadly.
Best wishes,
Tina
