Chairing an Annual General Meeting: Mastering Your Role, Authority and Best Practices

Serving as chair of a co-owners' meeting requires much more than recognizing speakers or announcing voting results.

The chair plays a vital role in ensuring the meeting runs smoothly, that procedural rules are respected, and that the decisions adopted are legally valid.

A misunderstanding of the chair's authority or poor management of discussions can quickly lead to tension, disputes, and undermine the credibility of the meeting.

This webinar will provide a better understanding of the role of the meeting chair, the powers entrusted to them, and the limits they must respect to ensure impartial, effective leadership in compliance with the rules governing co-ownership.

Drawing on practical situations encountered in the field, our panelists will present the various stages of an annual general meeting, best practices for managing discussions, maintaining order, handling difficult interventions, and overseeing voting procedures while fostering a respectful and constructive atmosphere.

Participants will also discover the most common mistakes observed during annual general meetings and how to prevent them.

A question-and-answer period will allow participants to receive guidance tailored to their own situations and leave with practical tools to carry out this role with confidence.
