The election of two new BE Board members will be confirmed at the meeting, while an agenda of other business will also be carried out. 

This will include the approval of the 2024/25 BE accounts plus the presentation of the 2024/25 Annual Report and new draft BE strategy for 2025-29, the full publication of which remains subject to change dependent on the consultation surrounding the formation of the body to succeed the British Basketball Federation (BBF).

Non-Executive Board Member election 

BE will appoint two directors as part of the election process as outlined in our Articles of Association.  

Elected Directors are drawn from within our sport and are appointed through an election process prior to the AGM in which the Full Members of Basketball England can vote. A Full Member is defined as an affiliated club, league or association by the Articles of Association, and not an individual BE member.
