Yet participation is low.
For last year’s #Nationwide #AGM:
• #Turnout was under 8%
• Around 400 people joined the #VirtualOnlyAGM
• 87% of voters used Quick Vote
• So the Board’s recommendations received 90%+ support

My concerns began with:
• #VirginMoney acquisition (without a Member vote)
• #VirtualOnlyAGM (only building society to ban in-person)

• The #QuickVote (Board entrenched, badged a #Member convenience)
• Absence of #MemberNominatedDirectors
