Outcome of the 2025 AGM: Special Resolution Approved
Posted on: Wednesday 19 November 2025
Yesterday, at the 2025 FPM Annual General Meeting, FPM Members and Fellows approved a special resolution which has brought into effect transformational change to the governance and operations of FPM.
The Board will transition to a smaller, governance-focused body, with operational responsibility formally centred in the staff team.
Updated trustee term limits and appointment processes will modernise FPM and align it with contemporary best practice.

93% of votes received were in favour of the resolution. This comfortably exceeded the required minimum of 75% in favour. Voting, including those made by proxy, was coordinated by an independent organisation, Mi-voice.
"Adopting these new Articles is a pivotal moment for FPM. This change strengthens our governance, supports our modernisation ambitions, and ensures we are well structured for the future.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to this important piece of work. I am especially grateful to the Task and Finish Group, who worked at a remarkable pace – carefully and robustly completing and communicating this complex work within six months. Their dedication has enabled us to move forward with confidence."
In other business, reports were presented by the President, Registrar, Treasurer, and members of the FPM senior management team. The resolution to appoint new auditors was also approved.
