An hour with Maria Cearns, Chief Operating Officer of the Co-operative Bank
Preceded by the AGM of the Customer Union cooperative
Saturday 21 November 2026, 11am to 1pm (AGM from 11am, Gathering from 12 noon)
We will be holding our November gathering as usual this year, and like the last two years it will be on-line only.
All customer union members and supporters are welcome.
At the Gathering we will hear from Maria Cearns, Chief Operating Officer of the Co-operative Bank, and there will be an opportunity for members and supporters to ask questions.
The gathering will be preceded by the AGM of the Customer Union.
A shorter event this year. We are now planning to hold two or three additional calls each year where members can join in discussions on particular topics. This follows the success of the recent member workshops, and it means we can keep the November event to two hours.
Please register
You're welcome just to join the meeting on the day but it helps us if you can register here beforehand so that we have an idea of numbers.
12.00 noon Saturday 21 November 2026
