The 29th Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the National Adult Literacy Agency will take place on Saturday, 27 March 2010 in The Heritage Hotel, Portlaoise, Co. Laois from 11am – 4pm. The NALA AGM is an essential networking and decision making event for members.

Annual NALA membership runs from 1 January to 31 December. Members play an important role in both NALA's strategic direction and the running of NALA. We would like to encourage all members to attend the AGM where you will be able to:

• take part in the vote for new members of the Executive Committee
• consider resolutions and/or amendments to the Constitution and participate in and listen to the debate around motions
• hear about the work carried out by NALA; staff are available throughout the day to answer your questions
• meet other members of NALA.

The AGM is a public event but you must be a member to vote another member onto the NALA Executive or to vote on resolutions or amendments to the Constitution. We also ask members of the public to book in beforehand so NALA can prepare with the hotel for the numbers expected to attend.

If you are interested in literacy issues NALA membership will keep you up to date with all that is happening in the area. You can join online here or download a membership form here.

To book your place at the AGM please fill in the booking form and email it to officemanager@nala.ie. You can also email or telephone NALA's Student and Membership Officer on membership@nala.ie or 021 4278655 to book or for any more information.
