Announcing terrific speakers for our AGM

The Annual General Meeting of the African Caribbean Network will be held on Saturday 19th May at our Centre at 66 Osborne Street, Glasgow, G1 5QH starting with some networking opportunities at 3.30pm.


Glasgow MSP Bob Doris, a good friend to the African Caribbean Network will formally open the AGM and oversee the elections of the new Board.


We are delighted to announce that the wonderful Professor Geoff Palmer (pictured above) will be giving the keynote address. He will be followed, we are also delighted to say, by Ms Mukami McCrum MBE who works for the Scottish Government's 'Gender Equality & Violence Against Women Team'. Anyone who has an interest in the work of the African Caribbean Network is very welcome to attend and all fully paid up members are allowed to nominate new office bearers and vote.
