Due to lockdown measures and the ongoing Covid-19 situation across the country, this year's meeting will take place online via Zoom.
The AGM will involve approving the minutes from the 78th Annual General Meeting, the Basketball England Annual Report, the organisation's Annual Accounts, plus the appointments of financial auditors for 2020/21.

All voting for elected directors will be undertaken electronically through the independent election services organisation, UK Engage who have provided democratic election services in the UK for many years.
Basketball England has taken the decision to use an electronic voting system to aid efficiency and reduce costs within the organisation.
