Groups and committees directory


Institute activities are enhanced and supported in an invaluable way by members and others who give their time and expertise, often on a voluntary basis. Working groups, committees and boards are some of the ways members can represent their profession or sector, support members and advance strategic objectives. The listing below shows groups that are currently active, some of which accept volunteers.

Members can read the membership of each committee as per 31 December in a given year in our Annual Reports.
