The IET was founded in 1871 and incorporated by Royal Charter in 1921. The current Royal Charter of the IET was allowed by the Privy Council in 2007 and the current Bye-laws were approved in 2016.
The Board of Trustees reviews the Bye-laws from time to time, to consider whether any amendments or additions are required. In 2021 a Working Party was established to do this and its recommendations were reported to the Board of Trustees in May 2022.
A Special General Meeting will be held on Thursday, 15 June 2023 to allow members to vote on the proposals.
The proposed amendments to the Royal Charter and Bye-laws fall into three categories:
Members, Fellows and Honorary Fellows only are entitled to vote and will be sent detailed information about the Special General Meeting and the proposed amendments to the Royal Charter and Bye-laws. They will be able to vote in person at the Special General Meeting or appoint a proxy to vote on their behalf.
Members are urged to exercise their right to vote and to support the Board of Trustees and its proposals to modernise the Royal Charter and Bye-laws.
Further information can be found on the AGMs and SGMs page of the IET website.
