5. Resolution
We want to integrate the work of AMET, the ATM, the MA, NAMA and NANAMIC into a new, shared organisation. We believe this will offer more sustainability, value and impact than we can offer as single associations, which will benefit existing and new members and the maths education sector more widely.
More information about our plans is available in the member information pack.
To integrate the current associations and launch our new organisation we will need to go through a merger process. The most effective way to do this is to use the existing legal entity of the MA to form the new organisation by:
We are asking our members to vote on whether they agree with proceeding with this process, on the provision that at least one other association votes to merge, and the completion of appropriate due diligence checks.

Should any member have an additional item for discussion, this should be intimated by e-mail to the Chief Executive Officer (sandi.atkinson@m-a.org.uk) no later than noon GMT on Friday 4th April 2025
