We meet six times a year to discuss a topic of interest, hear from key speakers
within the sector, and network with colleagues from other charities and important
suppliers. We try to keep meetings as varied as possible each one focusing on a
different topic that will be of interest to our members. We anticipate each meeting
to last two to three hours with a range of speakers and where possible break out
sessions. The minutes and presentations from these meetings are available on our
website.
Details of all meetings will be posted on the website and you will be sent an email
to alert you of the post. If you are interested in attending, visit the forum website
and sign up online. If you are not getting invited please check your online settings.
Log onto the forum and click the meetings tab on the left. You can then find out
further details of the meeting and sign up to the meeting online.
In advance of each AGM which is held annually a call for new committee members will
be sent out to members all of whom will be asked for nominations (with a proposer
and seconder).
Candidates will then be contacted by someone on the committee to assess their suitability
and skills and discuss the role and they will be asked to submit a biography. Short
biographies of those standing will be publicised before the AGM. If there are fewer
candidates than Committee spaces available all nominees should be elected without
challenge. Their names will be read out and recorded as elected. If there are more
candidates than spaces then a vote will be taken at the meeting and the results
of any vote recorded.
