We invite you to join us at our 24th AGM, where we will cover what the DYBIA has accomplished in 2025, as well as share our planned budget for 2026, which will require member approval.
The formal AGM proceedings will be held online, with motions and the voting process done through Zoom via the poll function. As a valued member of the DYBIA , it is important to participate in the AGM process and support your B.I.A..
We are excited to announce that for the first time since 2019, we will also be hosting an in-person AGM networking reception. This drop-in reception provides members with an opportunity to meet the DYBIA team and network with fellow members.
