The BDA's Benevolent Fund – the charity caring for dentists and their families – is holding an annual general meeting (AGM) on 18 September in London.

It is inviting all BDA members – all of whom are members of the BDA Benevolent Fund – to attend and has reminded them they have voting rights for the charity.

The charity's trustees have reviewed their governing document and are proposing to bring it up to date by clarifying various matters to ensure the organisation is efficient as well as fit for the future.

The trustees are putting forward a number of recommendations and amendments to the charity's governing document, including changes to the structure of the Board and to the process of nomination and recruitment of trustees.

They are also suggesting an alteration to the Benevolent Fund's governing documents in relation to the membership as well as some administration and procedural changes.

These proposals will be put forward and voted on at the AGM at 3.30 pm on Tuesday 18 September 2018 at 64 Wimpole Street, London.

More information about the proposed amendments or the option to RSVP to attend the AGM can be found at www.bdabenevolentfund.org/agm and those planning to attend should confirm this by 11 September 2018.
