Please go to: - www.firstpersonplural.org.uk/agm where you can find the Nomination and Election Information Pack.
Also available for download from www.firstpersonplural.org.uk/agm is the most recent Trustee Induction pack which contains documents, including FPP’s constitution, which will help you understand what kind of an organisation you would be a trustee of, if elected.
We ask you to seriously consider nominating yourself for one of these places, after reading all the information. 2017 is an important year for FPP as we will be celebrating our 20th anniversary. The deadline for receipt of nominations is Friday 26th August. Board member are expected to attend bi-monthly meetings, four of these are Telephone Conference Calls and twice annually we meet at the Office in Wolverhampton. Our ethos of working collaboratively, sensitively and in a way that is realistically sustainable and working within our capacity underpins our meetings. We will be holding a short meeting of the new Board on 17th September after the AGM.
Fay, who has been a stalwart supporter of FPP since we began has kindly agreed to update us on the progress of the ‘Independent Inquiry into CSA’. We have opened this part of the meeting to non-members of FPP as we know there is a wide interest in this Inquiry. Fay’s presentation will start at 2pm.
CONTINUED OVERLEAF……. We would like to thank The Survivors Trust for allowing us to use their premises for the AGM and Open Meeting. As always we welcome full and associate members to the whole day. Each member can bring one supporter or guest with them if wished. Organisational associate members may have a maximum of two places at the AGM/Open Day. We will be providing refreshments including a sandwich lunch. Vegetarian options will be included but other life-style choice dietary needs cannot be catered for. We will endeavour to meet any medically-required dietary needs if noted on your completed attendance form. To help us order enough lunches and to register your attendance or send your apologies please complete and return the form below to let us know if you intend coming to the day.
There will be an informal part of the day that has become such an important part of FPP’s Open Meetings where we share jigsaws, a craft or just have a chat with others who really understand the complexities of living with DID. On the day we provide clear ground rules that we have put together over the years based on our experience of organising these days to help ensure the day goes smoothly by trying to establish a safe and contained environment.
Please bring along anything you would like to share during this part of the day e.g., jigsaws, colouring pens and paper. I know how daunting and anxiety making meeting up with others for the first time can be but for most who have taken this enormous step they have been glad they did.
I look forward to seeing old friends and welcoming new ones.
With Best Wishes
