UCS Members Elect New Board at the 2025 General Annual Meeting
On 18th October 2025, Uganda Cancer Society held its General Annual Meeting (GAM) at Hotel J-Frigh in Kampala. The GAM is an important event held every year, where UCS presents its Annual Report, Financial Report, and Audited Accounts to its members, ensuring transparency and accountability in its operations.
This year’s GAM, however, was particularly significant. In addition to the standard presentations, it also served as a voting GAM, an important governance moment where UCS members were required to elect a new Board of Directors. Representatives from member organizations attended and actively participated in the election process, reaffirming the Society’s commitment to member-driven leadership and inclusive decision-making.
The voting exercise marked a crucial transition for UCS as members selected new leaders who will guide the organization into its next phase. Their participation demonstrated strong unity and confidence in the governance systems of the Society.
A special highlight of the event was the recognition and awarding of the outgoing Board of Directors. The Secretariat honoured them for their exceptional service and their significant contributions to strengthening UCS’s systems and building partnerships.
During the meeting, the Acting Executive Director, Asiimwe Patience, presented the UCS Annual Report for 2024. She highlighted the major achievements of the year, the work carried out in partnership with member organizations, and the progress made in key program areas. She also addressed the challenges the Society faced, providing valuable insights to guide future planning and priorities.
The 2025 GAM not only celebrated and appreciated the outgoing Board for their dedicated service, but also reinforced UCS’s governance by ushering in new leadership. UCS, together with its member organizations, warmly congratulates the newly elected Board and reaffirms its commitment to working closely with them. The Society pledges its full support to enable the new Board to effectively lead.
