EAUC Annual General Meeting results 2012

2nd April 2012

This year's Annual General Meeting took place on Tuesday 27 March 2012 at the University of York. Voting has been taking place by representatives from our Educational Membership institutions and the results were announced during the AGM.

We received 3 nominations for the 2 available trustee vacancies and we are pleased to announce that Marie May (Community, Sustainability and Residential Development Manager, Sheffield Hallam University) with a 60% majority and Roger Bond (Director of Estates, University of East Anglia) with a 49% majority have been appointed as new Trustees and Directors of the EAUC.

We would like to thank Richard Maxwell (Bristol Old Vic Theatre School) for his application and we hope to utilise his skills and experience within other areas of the EAUC.

This year was the first time we have used online voting (using Electoral Reform Services) and this proved to achieve a much higher turnout with 26% compared to 14% voting at last year's AGM - with 80% of votes cast online. This shows that the voting was much more representative of Member institutions.

You can view more details about Marie and Roger and all of our Trustees here. We would also like to say a big thank you to retiring Trustees, Paul Cross (Oxford Brookes University) and Neil Smith (University of Southampton).

Summary of results:
• Roger Bond - 49%
• Marie May - 60%
• Richard Maxwell - 38%

Roger Bond and Marie May have therefore been elected as Trustees and Directors of the EAUC.

Minutes from the meeting will be available on our EAUC Governance pages shortly.
