2025 Annual General Meeting
On 16th October, The London Forum held it’s 2025 AGM with two speakers, and a full house of members.
Michael Jubb, our chairman, made opening comments, and introduced the speakers: our patron, Prof. Tony Travers, and guest speaker, Leanne Tritton, chair of The London Society. Each talk was followed by a substantial Question & Answer session addressing prescient topics in depth.
We’ve annotated our AGM event page with photos and recordings of the talks and Q&A sessions, so that you can listen again, or review them if you didn’t manage to attend.
AGM business
The minutes of the 2024 AGM and 2025 Annual Report were approved, the latter includes a financial report, which was separately presented to the meeting by our Treasurer Ali Dezyanian. AGM papers are archived as usual with historic papers on the AGM page.
Two new trustees were elected: Elspeth Clements of the Highgate Society, and Michael Levitsky of the Finchley Society. Four trustees stood down: Michael Hammerson, Helen Warner, Darian Mitchell, and Mary Hogben. We are most grateful for their long service.
