Organisational Review of RCPSA
The following emergency motion was adopted at the AGM on 12 December 2023:
“That this AGM directs the National Council to establish a representative Review Group of the Association, supported by appropriate external expertise and led by an independent governance consultant which, in the light of the recent High Court case and the issues confronting public service pensioners, will conduct a comprehensive review of the Association’s mission, objectives, structures, rules, finances and communications having regard to good governance practice and procedures and will submit a report with recommendations to an Extraordinary General Meeting to be convened before the next AGM…”
The objective of the Review is to modernise and renew the Association and to put its structure and governance on a firm footing to enable it to be more effective and professional in the delivery of its Objects for the membership into the future. The Review will include consideration of motions on rule changes that were referred to the Council at the 2023 AGM.
The National Council set up the Review Group at its meeting held on 31 January. It will be guided by professional external advice.
The process will be assisted by a broader Consultative Forum representative of the membership which will be appointed later. The report of the Review Group will be considered at an EGM to be held prior to the AGM that is scheduled for 29 th May in the Ashling Hotel, Dublin.
The Review Group will be happy to receive suggestions from members and branches forconsideration in the review. These can be sent to reviewgroup@rcpsa.ie immediately but not later than Friday, 15 th March.
