AGM 2011 – website report
The Royal London Annual General Meeting 2011 was held at Glaziers Hall in London on 19 May.
As with previous years, members not attending the meeting in person could make their views known by registering a proxy vote. In addition, members were also able to vote online. Over 20,000 Royal London members chose to vote.
A number of members attended the meeting in person and took the opportunity to question the Board both formally, in the Question & Answer section of the meeting, and informally over a buffet lunch.
The proxy voting process and entry to the meeting on the day were managed by the independent scrutineers, Electoral Reform Services (ERS). To ensure that the votes of members present and the proxies were accurately reflected, ERS provided electronic voting consoles for voting at the meeting.
