Which of the following is NOT typically included in an AGM?

• A. Elect trustees
• B. Approve accounts
• C. Report to members
• D. Publish a full strategic plan for next decade

Answer: (D)

At an AGM, the focus is on governance and accountability to members. It’s the event where the organization shows what it did in the past year and how it’s being run. You typically see items that involve oversight and leadership: electing trustees to the governing board, approving the annual accounts to verify financial health and compliance, and reporting to members about activities, outcomes, and finances. These elements are about transparency and current governance, not about detailed future planning.

Publishing a full strategic plan for the next decade is not normally part of the AGM. Long-term strategy is developed and approved through separate board-level or strategy-focused processes, not as a core agenda item of the annual meeting. The AGM may reference strategic priorities at a high level or include a brief update, but the actual creation and approval of a long-range plan belong to the board and its planning sessions, outside the formal AGM proceedings.
