On December 2nd, SEC held its annual AGM. We were delighted that three proposals we believe will enable us to move forward more effectively were passed unanimously.

The proposals were the result of analysis carried out since April by the board about our current position.

Firstly, it was agreed upon that SEC will now have a smaller, more strategic, Board, reducing it's almost 25 members to 12.

Secondly, the creation of a larger Council elected by the membership. The Council will be a route through which some Board members are elected and will be a powerful forum that allows the membership to engage with SEC more actively to help shape major policy positions and campaigns.

Thirdly, it was agreed that SEC can go forward with a reclassification of our membership to ensure that we continue to reflect the social enterprise movement and accurately represent it at a national level.
