ACAI AGM 2025

Our AGM will be held on Saturday 24 May 2025 at the Margaret Aylward Centre, Glasnevin, 10am-3pm.

10:00 Tea and coffee
10:30 AGM business
11:15 Session pre-lunch
12:30 Lunch (included in attendance cost)
13:30 Session post-lunch
 
This year, our presentation will be given by Professor Gillian O’Brien (Liverpool John Moore University), Dr Danielle O’Donovan (UCC) and Professor Finola O’Kane (UCD). The title will be: Material & Intangible Heritage of Religious Communities: Recording the Past & Present for the Future and will give advice on recording items when religious houses and churches close, as well as showing research that has been done on the historical landscapes and significance of convent life. There will also be time for everyone to be take part in discussion later on. For anyone who attended another session held by Gillian and Danielle through the Heritage Council in November, it will be significantly different so as not to be a repeat of it.
We will send out a more detailed e-mail soon about the AGM order of business with relevant documentation (notice of AGM, form for attending AGM and form for renewal of membership for 2025-2026), and about the presentation sessions when we have the information ready.
