On August 4 2020 we hosted our AGM followed by our first ever AWUK Connect online Networking event.
In case you missed it, in the AGM we reviewed and approved the 2019 AGM Minutes, the AWUK Accounts and some changes to our Articles of Association. Lou and Beth also provided a round up of everything we’ve been up to over the past year
Once the AGM finished the AWUK Connect event began and everyone was divided into small groups to start talking. In a recent survey, many of you told us that you were interested in AWUK-hosted networking events, so we designed AWUK Connect to help you meet new people while working remotely.
As an icebreaker, everyone was invited to bring two items that represented something about their career and something about their personal lives to share with the group. The Show and Tell was a great way to get everyone talking and by breaking everyone into smaller groups for 2x 30 minutes we made sure everyone got to meet at least 5 or 6 new people.
It was also great to see so many people from different parts of the UK who would normally not be able to meet in person!
We were really thrilled that so many of you joined us and we intend to set up more virtual networking events in the future. Watch this space!
