Abstract
A Special General Meeting of the Institution of Engineering and Technology will be held on Friday, 25 September 2015 at 2.30 pm at the Institution of Civil Engineers, 1 Great George Street, London SW1P 3AA to consider, and if thought fit, approve two resolutions.
The background to this Special General Meeting is that on 20 May 2015, the IET received a requisition under Bye-law 40, requesting that the Trustees cease work on their governance reform proposals, failing which by 1 June 2015 a Special General Meeting of the IET be called to consider a resolution (Resolution 2) to establish a Task Force with the members concerned.
The Board of Trustees strongly disagrees with Resolution 2 and believes it will result in delay to the implementation of proposals to improve the IET’s governance. It is therefore proposing a resolution of its own (Resolution 1) in order to provide the opportunity for members to vote on these governance proposals and have them implemented as soon as possible
