The Annual General Meeting is an opportunity for you to have your say in how the Nottingham & Derby Society of Architects is run.

  • February 23rd AGM Online via Zoom

Members of any level (Levels Include: Chartered RIBA Members, Associate RIBA Members, & Student RIBA Members) can put themselves forward to be a committee member, the exception to this is typically the roles of the Chair and Hon. Treasurer, who are required to be Chartered RIBA Members. The current committee voted to approve an amendment to this stipulation, to create flexibility in the event of limited uptake or interest shown from Chartered Membership.

We ask that you take this role seriously, be able to commit a suitable amount of time over your tenure and expect you to conduct yourself as a professional as you would in practice. During this time, you will be representing the RIBA and the local RIBA members.
