You will remember the overwhelming decision by members in the September 2020 Conference to accept the change in status of IMIA from an Unincorporated Association (UA) to become a Company Limited by Guarantee (CLG) and the consequent changes in the constitution required to follow the UK Governments proposed model articles of association.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After many months of discussion, research by the EC and legal companies we are happy to announce that as of the 17th<\/sup> of September 2021 IMIA is now officially registered with Companies House in the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The decision was taken by members in September 2020 and then again after all the results of the research of taking such a step they once again voted in favour during the September conference on the 14th<\/sup> of September 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. <\/strong>We have drafted New Articles of Association<\/a><\/strong>; these are based on the UK Government Model Articles for Companies Limited by Guarantee that are now available for review. These have been reviewed by a UK solicitor and by the legal departments of several of our EC members. These become in effect our new constitution and have been unanimously agreed by your EC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2.<\/strong>Most of the existing EC members are in the process of becoming directors of the new company. Some of the EC will be non-directors and will continue as our Executive Committee\/Board of Directors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. <\/strong>We have renamed our old Constitution our Charter; this document will be the document we retain for the day to day running of the Association. This document will however be subservient to the Articles. (New Charter)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
