AboutAbout UsGovernance2026 Annual General Meeting

Dear National Delegate, 

We are delighted to confirm that we will be holding our Annual General Meeting as a hybrid event this year where we will run a simultaneous event both for those attending our International Congress on Obesity (ICO), in Mexico City and for those joining online.  We plan to update you on all our activities over the past year and there will be an opportunity to take part in ‘live voting’.  Please note that we encourage you to vote as all votes are counted in the overall quorum for the meeting. 

If you are unable to attend the AGM then please complete the following Proxy Delegate Form which provides you with an opportunity to vote on the business ahead of the meeting.  Please complete and submit the voting form no later than 12:00 Noon (BST) on Thursday 16 July 2026.

Please don’t hesitate to contact membership@worldobesity.org should you have any difficulties submitting this form.

Kind regards, 

Karen Bennett
Head of Governance & Membership

Proxy Voting Form for World Obesity General Council

This Form must be submitted by 12:00 Noon (BST) on Thursday 16 July 2026.

Being a voting delegate of the above-named Company, hereby appoint President Simón Barquera as my proxy to attend, speak and vote in my name and on my behalf at the Annual meeting of the General Council to be held on Friday, 17 July 2026 at 09:30 CST / 16:30 BST and at any adjournment thereof.

For more information please read our Privacy Policy.

Notes to this proxy form

1. As a full member of the Company you are entitled to appoint a proxy to exercise all or any of your rights to attend, speak and vote at a general meeting of the Company. Please appoint President Louise Baur as your proxy this year.

2. If you are unable to attend it is crucial that we receive your completed proxy form beforehand, so that you can be counted in the quorum for the meeting and so that your votes can count.

3. To direct your proxy how to vote on the resolutions select the appropriate button. If no voting indication is given, your proxy will vote or abstain from voting at his or her discretion. Your proxy will vote (or abstain from voting) as he or she thinks fit in relation to any other matter which is put before the meeting.

4. If you abstain from voting on a resolution, it will be a vote withheld, which is not a vote in law, and which means that the vote will not be counted in the calculation of votes for or against the resolution.
