Becoming a trustee
There is an ongoing requirement for Association members to volunteer their services as a trustee of the Association as existing trustees finish their period in office, or resign from the position for other reasons. Please make any expressions of interest to the General Secretary. Trustees are
unpaid but reasonable expenses can be claimed. Training is required and is supported by the Association. Board meetings are held four times a year, three by electronic link and occasionally at Robertson House, Camberley or other venues. Sub-Committee meetings are held when required.
