The CASES Annual General Meeting took place, virtually, on Wednesday 11 November 2026.

Members can access the minutes of the meeting and the accompanying slides via the Governance area of our website.

Chair of the Association, Professor Zoe Knowles FCASES, thanked three outgoing directors for their hard work and service over two terms on the Board:

• Dr Andrew Mitchell HonFCASES​
• Ms Susan Went​
• James Tugwell​

Meanwhile, incoming directors were welcomed to their roles:

• Prof Athanassios Bissas​
• Tilly Heald FCG​
• Shadrack Nyobii ACCA

The Special Resolution to elect Prof Zoe Knowles FCASES as incoming Chair-Elect was approved. Zoe will serve her final year of her current second term until November 2027 and start a new three-year term as CASES Chair from November 2027.

Members noted that the Board has approved a CPI-linked increase of 3.3% across membership and programme fees from January 2027. This will come into effect from 1 January 2027 for new members and at the point of members renewing their membership. As members of a professional body, CASES members are reminded they can get tax relief on membership fees

The next AGM will take place in November 2027, details of which will be shared nearer the time.
