MEMBERSHIP NEWS
AGEM March Meeting Review l Te March monthly meeting saw new AGEM Executive Director, Daron Dorsey, introduce himself in-person and via Zoom to the members. He told members he was looking forward to serving AGEM and was excited to be taking the organisation forward in its next chapter. He also thanked Marcus Prater for his leadership and for the smooth transition he has recently provided and will continue to do so in the next few months. Daron Dorsey and President David Lucchese noted that the format of the monthly gathering will be adjusted slightly going forward. While industry-related matters and relevant topics will continue to be open for broad, general discussion amongst the group, henceforth monthly meetings will not also serve as formal Board of Directors (BOD) meeting. BOD/ Voting Member meetings will now instead take place 3-5 times per year and conform with AGEM’s corporate governance requirements. Ultimately, this plan and adjusted format are both aimed at making AGEM’s monthly gathering process more efficient and beneficial for all involved.
