The role of a society secretary can be very broad. Beyond the core duties of preparing for board meetings and AGM and minute taking, secretaries are increasingly involved in corporate governance matters, recruitment of directors, regulatory issues and initiatives for increasing member engagement.

This full-day seminar, run jointly by the BSA and Addleshaw Goddard LLP, will cover both core duties and broader responsibilities and developments. It will be an ideal opportunity for society secretaries and Chief Executives to catch up on the current issues and to liaise with their peers.

Confirmed speakers include:

Andrew Hopkins, Policy Manager, BSA
Ben Koehne, David Pygott and Tess Kelly from BSA associate member, Addleshaw Goddard, talking about AGM trends, director duties and solvent exit planning
Andy Freeman from the FCA on the work of the Mutuals Team and governance matters
Chris Lawrenson on lessons for the Board from the carpet bagging wars
We will also have a speaker covering Board effectiveness (speaker not confirmed yet)

Speakers and programme timings will be updated here as soon as they're confirmed.

(Registration closes at 17:00 on Friday, 31 October 2025)
