International Map Collectors' Society
Draft for approval at 2021 AGM
Meeting Held on Wednesday 25th November 2020
It was not possible to hold the IMCoS AGM at the Royal Geographical Society prior to the London Map Fair as had been planned because restrictions on travel and assembly made necessary by the Covid-19 pandemic had resulted in the cancellation of both events. The Executive Committee opted to hold a virtual AGM with a shortened Agenda that covered only essential matters required by the constitution.
The Agenda and all the documents required for the meeting had been posted on the website in advance, and all members for whom the IMCoS Secretariat held e-mail addresses were sent newsletters giving details of the AGM voting procedure. The Executive Committee (EXCOM) held a virtual meeting to review the results once voting had closed.
Executive Committee members present were:
Hans Kok Chairman
Valerie Newby Vice Chairman
David Dare Gen. Secretary
Jeremy Edwards Hon. Treasurer
Jenny Harvey Advertising Manager
Ljiljana Ortolja-Baird Journal Editor
Peter Walker Financial & Membership Secretary
Diana Webster Member
Katherine Parker Dealer Liaison
Mike Sweeting Recruitment, Marketing and Publicity
Cinzia Viviani Hon. Treasurer (designate)
EXCOM members were pleased to see that 81 members had taken part in the vote, considerably more than the number who would normally have been able attend in person in London.
The Minutes were adopted. Voting was: For 76, Against 0, Abstain 6.
The recommendation that all fees should remain unchanged for 2021 was adopted. Voting was: For 80, Against 1, Abstain 0.
The following officers offered themselves for re-appointment:
Peter Barber President
Hans Kok Chairman
Valerie Newby-Scott Vice Chairman
The officers were re-appointed. Voting in all three cases was: For 80, Against 0, Abstain 1.
There being no other business, the Chairman closed the meeting.
