The BPIF are developing a committee to feedback views from members in Northern Ireland into the North West Regional Board.

Overall objective
• To gather and assess the view of Members across the Region.
• Communicate these views via the North West Regional Board.
• Ensure that information on important developments is disseminated to Members.
• Comment on BPIF plans, policies, strategies, priorities and budgetary matters.
• Receive reports from me as Regional Director on activities across the Region.
• Promote relations between BPIF and important external organisations in the Region.
• Promote BPIF membership to non-members.

Format
• Formed of a minimum of 6 BPIF Members from Northern Ireland, with a Regional Chair.
• Meeting twice per year (around June and November).

Further topics
• A key part of my plan is to be able to deliver events and activities locally to members where possible.
• Events and Workshops - what events would Members' like to see delivered in the Region?
• Supplier events - working with our Associate Members, what activities could be delivered to highlight innovation and best practice?
• Roadshows - review the content and delivery to ensure these events remain interesting.
• Brexit - provide a regional voice to the BPIF National Board on specific Regional issues.
• My ambition is to generate sufficient interest to be able to hold at least 3 events, 2 Roadshows and 2 Committee meetings per year.
