The AGM is essential for conducting formal business of the Society. Without it, we are unable to elect your representatives, or carry out essential business such as approving our accounts and appointing auditors. The British Society of Soil Science Annual General Meeting will take place on Tuesday 2 August from 11:00am – 12:00pm at the World Congress of Soil Science in Glasgow.
For the first time, members are asked to vote on the resolutions in advance of the meeting. This will provide equity to all members who have the opportunity to vote, regardless of whether they will be able to attend the meeting.
