Steering Group
Steering Group - The activities of the Association are guided by a Steering Group comprising business leaders, sponsors and public sector representatives. This group meets at least 4 times per year to discuss key issues, progress and strategy. "Officers" and steering group representatives are appointed annually at the AGM. Steering group meetings are lively, enthusiastic and very much focussed on practical achievements. New blood is always welcome and if you are interested in supporting or participating in the steering group you should not hesitate to contact the Association immediately.
