May we take the opportunity to inform all ITFA members, in particular the Main Delegate for each member institution, to join us at the virtual AGM 2020, where a number of important votes will be taken. Please bear in mind that in the event that the Main Delegate is unable to attend and vote, then please advise us by sending an email to info@itfa.org as to who will be attending for the live session representing your institution at the AGM. Alternatively, please provide a proxy form. May we remind our esteemed members that the voting to the AGM is very important and we need to reach quorums to enable us to operate effectively in the coming year.
 
Due to the current circumstances, the normal election and approval process will not be held physically but rather virtually. The scheduled virtual AGM webinar will be held over 2 sessions on Tuesday 1st December 2020. The first session, which will be from noon until 1pm (UK time) will cover the following:

1. Presentation of the 2019 audited financial statements
2. Approval of the minutes of the 19th AGM held on 5th September 2019 in Budapest
3. Re-appointment of auditors
4. Board elections

The afternoon session, from 4pm until 5:30pm (UK time) will consist of a webinar presented to you by the ITFA Board. ITFA Chairman Sean Edwards will give a brief introduction followed by a recap/review of ITFA in 2020. We will also be announcing the EL winner of the Trade Financier Award followed by a Q&A to the Board. Paul Coles, ITFA Head of Market Practice Committee will present a short webinar on Structured Letters of Credit. Now is your chance! Grab the opportunity to engage with your Board Members and gain insights; put forward any queries you may have on ITFA’s future strategy and naturally share any ideas with us. The AGM will be an excellent opportunity for all this and more!
 
N.B. Only Main Delegates (and those holding proxies given by main delegates) may vote. A link to the voting system will be sent to all Main Delegates.
