AGM Prep Kit
The day-by-day run-up that survives a contested annual meeting.
What this is
An AGM goes wrong in the two weeks before it, not on the night. This kit is the day-by-day run-up that survives a contested meeting.
It covers the notice package and timing, quorum and proxy management, the financial one-pager owners actually read, the chair's script, and the difficult-conversation prep for the questions you know are coming.
What's inside
- A 14-day countdown checklist, so nothing lands in the last 72 hours
- A notice-package contents list
- A proxy tracker template
- A chair's script outline for the moments that usually go sideways
- A one-page financial summary template owners will actually read
How to use it
Start the 14-day countdown the moment the meeting date is set. Finalise the agenda early — two weeks out, not five days — so the board arrives aligned instead of debating in front of owners. Keep the financial presentation to one page; the full statements live in the package for anyone who wants them.
