This year, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Society held its
AGM with the minimum number of directors and colleague members
required to form a quorum. Members were able to submit questions in
advance of the meeting by email and post, watch the formalities via
livestream and ask questions in real-time during the event. The
Society also held a virtual live Member TalkBack with Board
directors and members of the Nationwide Leadership Team on Thursday
15 July 2021 where members could also ask questions.
David Roberts, Society Chair, said :
"The AGM remains an important day in our calendar. Despite the
challenges of the pandemic, we ended the year in a good place;
financially strong, operationally resilient and committed to
supporting our members to save, own their own homes and achieve
financial security. Our members and colleagues have shown great
fortitude and flexibility as we've navigated this unpredictable
year together and our Society remains strongly positioned for the
future".
