What is Direct Member Voting?
It's your chance to shape the future of Benenden Health by voting on the important business decisions leading up to our Annual Conference (AGM).
What will I be asked to vote on this year?
Your vote matters on several key reports:
Annual Report and Accounts
Appointment of Auditors
Directors' Remuneration Report
Board of Directors Proposal
The Board is proposing changes to our Rulebook to make our rules simpler, streamline our Board, protect our mutual status, and improve our member engagement structure. These changes will result in a new and simplified Rulebook.
Member Council Proposal
To support the Board's proposed changes to improve our member engagement structure, the Member Council is recommending a motion to introduce a member forum.
Board of Director Elections
You can select up to five candidates to serve on our Board of Directors:
Two Member-nominated Directors
Two Board-nominated Directors
