AGM Governance Roles

Three AGM governance roles were up for election in 2020. Good governance is essential to our success, helping to set our direction and making or shaping many of the big decisions we take as an organisation. So we seek individuals with a broad range of skills, experiences and backgrounds to join our governance bodies. 

Amnesty International United Kingdom Section is a democratic, membership-led organisation. Many of our key governance positions are elected by our members. Board members are elected by a national ballot of members. Other important roles are elected at our Annual General Meeting (AGM).
