Dear Member,

Purpose:
An EGM is being called to elect directors to the IGHT board. Currently there are three elected (Jane Clements, Tim Lister, Ian Wilson) and three co-opted directors (Fergus Christie, Gordon Watson, Keith Wilson). The IGHT
constitution requires there to be a majority of elected directors for the board to be quorate.

intimating their willingness to be appointed no later than 7pm on Thursday 14th May.
