Annual General Meeting 2023

The Annual General Meeting (AGM) of The British Psychological Society, to which all members were invited, was held on Wednesday 26 July 2023 at 5pm.

The meeting was held entirely virtually.

• Watch a recording of the AGM.
• Download our Trustees' Annual Report and Consolidated Financial Statements.
• A number of questions were submitted before and during the AGM. The answers to these questions are contained in the 2023 Questions and Answers document.
• Download our Review of the Year 2022.

Feedback

Following the AGM we asked for feedback from the 120 people who attended the event. We received 61 responses and the main points raised were:

• Most participants found the processes of registering for and joining the AGM on the day to be easy, which is positive.
• Many participants did not ask questions beforehand or on the day. Among those who did ask questions, experiences were mixed, particularly for those asking questions during the meeting, with some finding this difficult.
• Most participants expressed a preference for future AGMs to be held virtually over being in person, while around a fifth would prefer these to be in person.
• Various suggestions for improving the next AGM were received. These included improving the interactivity of the meeting to enable better engagement with the audience, offering a hybrid option, and ensuring information about the AGM is sent out and is easy to access.

Thank you to everyone who took their time to give us their views. We will take your feedback into account when planning the 2024 event.
