The AMOSSHE annual general meeting (AGM) is the annual opportunity for members of AMOSSHE The Student Services Organisation to engage with the development and direction of your professional association.

All members are welcome to join the meeting to find out about our strategic progress, our aims for the future, and who was elected to join the Executive Committee.

The meeting will be hosted on Zoom.
