The British Chamber of Commerce in Hungary invites you to our
2023 Annual General Meeting

Venue: KOZMO Luxury Hotel – 1082 Budapest, Horváth Mihály tér 17.
The event is free of charge for BCCH Members and we request all members have a representative on the spot, especially considering this year is an election year.
Please note that, in accordance with our charter, we need all our member companies to attend via a delegate to make sure we meet the quorum for a valid AGM.
In line with the BCCH Charter, we will elect a new Council and a Chairperson for the Chamber who will serve on the Board for 2 years.
Agenda and nominees soon to be announced. Details of the event will also be available on our site and regularly updated to represent any changes in the itinerary.
If you wish to put yourself forward for consideration as a nominee for our board or as a chairman, please fill out the relevant application form and send a signed version back to us at bcch@bcch.com
The application process opens on March 17 and lasts until noon, April 17.
Voting and attendance information
Participation at the official part of the AGM is for members only and free of charge, but please note that only a maximum of two people from any member company may attend, and each voting member company will have the right to one vote only.
In voting for the Chairman and Council Members, each voting member company will receive ONE voting sheet at the event. The voting sheet will contain the name of the candidates for the Council and for the Chair position. A total of seven votes can be cast on the voting sheets (six for Councillors and one for the Chairperson). Whilst conducting the vote, we will ensure anonymity and excercise full discretion, as is required. The candidates receiving the most votes will be elected to Council Membership. The documents will also be sent to every registree via email a week before the event.
If no quorum is present at the time of the Annual General Meeting, the adjourned General Meeting shall convene at 16:15 on 17 May 2023 at the same place and such meeting shall have a quorum as regards the matters included in the agenda of the previous Meeting, regardless of the number of Members present or represented.
Members who are entitled to vote but cannot delegate anyone from the company to attend the Annual General Meeting will have the option to appoint a representative of another BCCH voting member with discretionary power to vote for and on behalf of them with a written proxy, a form for which is available here. The number of proxies that a BCCH member can present at the event is limited to a maximum of two. (Please note that the proxy form has to be presented only if the delegate works for another member company, it is not needed if the delegate works within the same firm).
A member whose membership fee has not been fully paid before the AGM may not be entitled to attend and vote, so if in doubt please contact our colleagues at the Finance Department of the BCCH at finance@bcch.com.
Individual and Honorary members are non-voting members but have the right to attend and observe the AGM.
