AGM 2023 Online Registration 

Registration is now Closed

The 55th Annual General Meeting of Dundalk Credit Union Limited will be held on Wednesday, 13th December 2023 commencing at 7pm. Our AGM this year will be facilitated on Zoom.

In order to participate in AGM 2023, you will need to follow these instructions:

Step 1  You must register to attend our AGM 2023 by 11 am on 8th December 2023.

Step 2  Once we receive your registration,  Dundalk Credit Union will confirm that we have received your registration using the email address you use to register.

Step 3  Based on the information you provide to us, we will verify you as a member.  Please note that only one registration is permissible per email address. For households with more than one member, each member must register separately using their own email address.  Without a verified email address, a member will be unable to vote at AGM 2023.  One member, one email, one mobile device, one vote.

Step 4  On or before 12th December 2023, you will receive a Zoom invitation, sent to the email address you provide in the registration process. Please check your SPAM folder for the invitation as this is an auto-generated email and may not go straight to your inbox.  This invitation will be sent from our AGM hosting partner AVC.

Step 5  Members are asked to submit any questions or observations they may have in advance of the AGM. This can be done as part of the AGM registration process or by emailing info@dundalkcu.ie. Questions can be submitted up to the registration closing date (see step 1) and we will endeavour to answer these at the meeting.

Step 6  You can log on to the AGM, by clicking on the link provided in the invitation you will receive by email several days before the AGM. You will receive a reminder of the AGM, by email, within 24 hours before it is due to begin. Please check your SPAM folder for the invitation as this is an auto-generated email and may not go straight to your inbox.  We suggest you log on about 15 minutes before the start time of 7 pm on Wednesday 13th December 2023.  If you are not familiar with Zoom, you will find this short tutorial helpful: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/360034967471-Getting-started-guide-for-new-users

Step 7  It is important that you note the invitation you receive is specific to you and can only be used on one device. If you do not register personally and join the AGM through a shared registration link, you will not be counted as attending the AGM and will not be able to vote.

Step 8  When you log on you will be made aware that you are ‘waiting’. When the Chair starts the meeting, you will be able to see and hear the meeting.  Please select “Join with Computer Audio”, so that you will be able to see and hear the Chair and any persons presenting.  We recommend that while you are waiting, you should use the opportunity to test the sound on your computer so you can be sure it’s working and at the right volume for you to follow the proceedings.

Step 9  For everyone’s comfort, all non-presenting participants will be ‘muted’ during the meeting.

Step 10  As part of the agenda you will be asked to vote.  Elections will be done by electronic polling.  A poll will appear on your screen, click on your answer and press submit. You will be given sufficient time to cast your vote (the length of time allowed will be advised at the meeting). The poll will close after that time and the result will be announced by the Chair.

Step 11  To assist with the minutes, our AGM will be recorded.  When the matters of the AGM are concluded, the Chair will end the AGM and close the Zoom link.
