The AGM is an opportunity for you to shape the future of your branch, have your say on how it's run and learn more about the activities it undertakes.
If you're new to the RCN and this is your first AGM, please get involved - it's a great way to meet colleagues and other RCN members and influence the year ahead.
This meeting is being held in person, with the option for members to join online if they prefer.
