We are delighted to invite you to our 2022 Annual General Meeting (AGM).  It is taking place online on Saturday 30 April 2022 at 11am and we hope you can join us.

2021 was another rollercoaster year for us all, but with your support, we achieved a long-held ambition to get a new 10-year adult literacy, numeracy and digital literacy strategy for Ireland. Now that we enter 2022, we need your help to make sure it gets implemented. Our AGM will be an ideal opportunity for you to hear from us and to discuss with other members what you want NALA to concentrate on in 2022 and beyond.

Get ready to vote

We are delighted that we received 16 nominations to our Board. As there are only eight places available for director positions, there will be an election at our AGM. The Board provides essential leadership to NALA so, have a read about all our nominees and get ready to vote. Each nominee has a wealth of experience and most importantly a common believe that literacy is a human right.
