Please note that this event is exclusively for ENIL members.
The ENIL Board informs herewith the ENIL membership that the ENIL 2025 General Assembly (GA) will take place on Saturday, May 24th, from 11:00 – 17:00, online via Zoom.
This notice is, according to the ENIL Constitution, being sent at least six weeks before the planned date of the ENIL General Assembly. This notice contains the place, date and time of the day of the GA and includes the GA agenda and procedure (DOC 1).
Our guest speaker, the UN Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, Ms Heba Hagrass from Egypt, will deliver an opening presentation before the formal General Assembly business. We are looking for another speaker from the Independent Living movement to complement Ms. Hagrass.
This will be ENIL’s second online GA. A demonstration of the online voting system will take place on 16 May, from 14:00 – 14:30 CET. A link will be shared with the membership in the coming weeks.
The election of five (5) new ENIL Board members will be held. Due to the high number of candidates, the documents for the Board elections will be sent to you on 25 April.
According to the ENIL Constitution, each full member has one vote at the General Assembly. (This means that you cannot vote for an organisation and as an individual member at the same time.) To vote, all members must complete and sign a Voter registration form (DOC 7a and 7b). Proxy voting is possible at the ENIL GA and attached is the explanation to how this works (DOC 8a) and a template for an email to be used for a proxy vote (DOC 8b).
*The deadline to register is 9 May 2025.
