STANDING FOR ELECTION TO COUNCIL
The annual general meeting is held on a yearly basis to elect seven members to the Council and each member will be elected for a period of two years. Thus in a two-year period, all fourteen members of the Council are up for election.
The modus operandi of the AGM is stipulated by the Statute and Bye-Laws. Through a notification sent out to all Members before each AGM, the Institute invites any interested parties who wish to be on Council to submit their nomination.- Are you passionate about the profession?
- Do you have the right skills and competencies to be on Council?
- Do you want to be involved in shaping the future of the Institute and the profession?
During his speech at the 2019 AGM, outgoing President, William Spiteri Bailey, emphasised the personal value that one derives from being an active constituent of the Institute.
“The MIA is a success story because it has always been able to face challenges with reason, integrity, and a long-term vision. These were the points of reference that have accompanied my passion for the profession during this term, and that sustained my determination. The Presidency of the Institute is as much a proud experience as it is a humbling one. Working alongside so many talented people has been a true honour: our competent professionals; the generous members of the groups and committees; the insightful members of the Council; the enthusiastic and brilliant MIA staff. I am grateful to every one of you for sharing with me the mission to keep transforming the profession in Malta and lay the groundwork for its further development.”
