UK Members’ ForumOur UK Members’ Forum gives us a closer rapport with our membership. The forum is a place for membership representatives to come together and discuss the issues of importance to them. These issues then go forward to the Board of Trustees. It gives our members a direct link to RNIB’s most senior governing body and helps identify and shape major strategy, policy and service issues. The UK Members’ Forum meets twice a year (one meeting includes the Annual General Meeting). It is supported by local member forums – nine in England, one in Northern Ireland, one in Scotland and one in Wales. As well as enabling our members to have a direct role in shaping our strategy, the UK Members’ Forum increases opportunities for interaction between members at a local and national level. All members are invited to the forum meeting in their region or country, and each forum chooses its representatives to the UK Members’ Forum.
