NSUN runs events for members throughout the year – sign up as a member to be sent information about all of NSUN’s events, including our Monthly Network Meetings and other events like research launch events and training sessions. This page relates specifically to NSUN’s AGMs & Members’ Events.
Annual General Meetings (AGMs)
Every year, NSUN has an AGM, a formal meeting that provides an overview of the charity’s position, including its finances, and is where members vote on motions, such as appointing trustees. You can view minutes of previous AGMs on our Governance & Finance page. AGMs are open to full NSUN members (individuals and user-led groups), who will receive an invitation to attend and to vote (including the invitation to vote by proxy) each year.
NSUN Members’ Events
In 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023, before we began hosting monthly events for members, NSUN held annual Members’ Events online. These were one or two day-long events with a mixture of sessions such as panel discussions. We were able to record a lot of the sessions: you can watch them via the links below (or directly via our YouTube playlists).
NSUN Members’ Creative Exhibitions
You can also find links below to the annual virtual creative exhibitions of artwork by NSUN members that we put together each year.
