Reading of the Acknowledgement of Public Meeting Declaration


Before the start of the Annual General Assembly’s proceedings, the SG read the acknowledgement of the public meeting declaration. This declaration is a legal requirement and confirms that the meeting is being conducted in accordance with the rules and regulations established by the organization. This reading is a formal part of the meeting and signifies the official start of the proceedings.

 

Prayer


Following the reading of the acknowledgement, the participants gathered for the traditional prayer – a moment of reflection and unity for the promoters. Punctuality for this key part of the meeting was important, as the assembly subsequently proceeded to the election of scrutineers.

 

Election of Scrutineers

After the prayer, the next item on the agenda was the election of scrutineers. This process is crucial to ensure that the voting process is conducted fairly and accurately. The scrutineers were responsible for counting the votes and verifying the results. It was important to choose impartial scrutineers who had no direct interest in the outcome of the election. The promoters were therefore invited to nominate and second individuals for the position of scrutineer. The vote then took place, and the individuals who received the most votes were elected as scrutineers. The election of scrutineers thus paved the way for a transparent and democratic decision-making process, essential for upholding the values of CEC-PROM Mature.
