The Eastern Caribbean Collective Organisation for Music Rights (ECCO) Inc. will host its 14th Annual General Meeting (AGM) will be held on Saturday.
The meeting will take place at the Burke King Conference Room in Sans Souci, Castries, Saint Lucia and will also be accessible online via Zoom.
The AGM is a key event in ECCO’s calendar, bringing together members from across the Eastern Caribbean to review the organisation’s performance, elect directors, and make decisions on matters affecting the collective management of music rights in the region.
According to the official notice, the agenda will include:
- Approval of the minutes of the 13th AGM held in March 2024
- Presentation of reports from the Chairman and CEO
- Presentation of the External Auditors’ Report for the year ending December 31, 2024
- Discussion and vote on proposed changes to the organisation’s bylaws
- Election of new board directors
This year’s election will see the appointment of four directors: one Director from Grenada, one Writer Director from Saint Lucia, and two Publisher Directors from Saint Lucia.
The hybrid format reflects ECCO’s commitment to improving access and participation for its membership, particularly those based outside of Saint Lucia. Members who wish to attend online will receive a Zoom link after completing the registration process.
ECCO Inc. is the region’s primary collective management organisation responsible for administering the rights of composers, authors, and publishers of music. The AGM provides a platform for accountability, transparency, and member engagement in the governance of the organisation.
There are approximately 120 members of the ECCO here in Antigua and Barbuda some of whom are expected to participate in the AGM.
