The Isle of Wight branch of the National Autistic Society will be having their second AGM this Friday 17th June from 7.00pm – 9.00pm in the Hunnyhill Suite at the Riverside Centre, Newport.

Not standing down
Louise went on to say, “Please let me take this opportunity to reassure members that neither Sue or I plan to stand down however we would welcome the opportunity to hear from members if they are interested in taking on either of our roles, therefore please do not hesitate to get in touch to find out more.
“We will also be looking for new committee members too and hope that this might be of interest to some. We are always very pleased to hear from anyone who would like to do some voluntary work too.”
Overview of finances
The AGM will also give branch members an overview of the financial state of the branch which will be led by Sue Lucas, Treasurer and be given an opportunity to find out what the branch has been doing over the past 12 months led by Louise Foley, Branch Officer.
Louise Foley said, “We are delighted that Sue Lightfoot (PCT) and Jeremy Baker (IWC) are able to come along to speak to us about their roles with regards to the Autism Act 2009 and to finding how we can work together to address the Autism Strategy on the Isle of Wight.”
