I write to inform you of the upcoming 2022 WFAE Annual General Meeting, which will be held on Saturday 7 May at 12:00PM GMT/UTC (translation to your own time zones can be done at TimeAndDate.com).  

Following a successful online AGM last year, the meeting will be held on Zoom.

The Treasurer shall disburse, or authorise the disbursement of the funds of the WFAE as may be directed by proper authority taking proper vouchers for such disbursements, and shall render to the President and directors at the regular meeting of the Board, or whenever they may require it, an accounting of all the transactions and a statement of the financial position of the WFAE.
