MTAI AGM Saturday 16th November 10am
A chance to hear about exciting developments, share your views and connect with others
Dear MTAI member,
Our AGM (annual general meeting) will take place this year on Saturday 16th of November via Zoom from 10.00 am – 1pm. You can register for it here.
The new board has been working hard this year to better understand the organisation, how we can best support our members and build public awareness of their value. This has included in-depth review of areas such as our website and how the public finds teachers, opportunities for networking and support, CPD and supervision requirements / processes and offerings to support members and build external recognition, amongst many other areas.
We wish to use the AGM as an opportunity to update you, our members, on these developments and also seek your input on some upcoming changes. We really encourage attendance so we can have a wide representation of member voices on decisions to be made. It's also a great chance to hear from the MTAI committees, to connect with colleagues from across the country and learn how you can get involved with the work of the MTAI if you are interested.
We are also delighted to welcome two wonderful speakers:
Dr Tony Bates our patron, will join us and talk about his experience retreating for 6 months in Bolton Abbey (Moone, Co Kildare). He will share his insights about wisdom, and what it means to wake up the heart into the mysteries of who we are.
We are also delighted to have Orlaith O’Sullivan join us. Orlaith is currently working on a whole-school mindfulness intervention that is being trialed in India, Kenya, South Africa and Sweden, in partnership with UNICEF. She will talk about her experience so far with this project, and how she supports teachers and schools with creative mindfulness approaches
Attached please find the formal AGM notice, minutes from last year and further details about Dr Orlaith O’Sullivan’s guest talk. Our financial statement is still in the process of being reviewed by our accountant so we are unable to share at this time. We will present a draft financial statement to members at the AGM and share the final approved statement with all members as soon as it has been finalised.
We look forward to seeing you there if you can make it.
Warmest wishes,
Sarah-Jane Cullinane
On behalf of the Board
