\"IHBC<\/a>The fourth meeting of the IHBC\u2019s UK-wide advisory board, \u2018Council+\u2019 (C+), which is open to IHBC members of all categories, is to take place on Tuesday 6 December in London, with an invitation to the London Branch Christmas celebration afterwards, so do make sure that your Branch or special interest is represented by contacting the IHBC\u2019s lead officer for C+, Fiona Newton, at projects@ihbc.og.uk<\/a>.<\/h3>\n

\u2018Council+ is a great way for those with an interest in the IHBC to get more involved in the running of the institute\u2019, says Fiona Newton IHBC lead contact for Council+.\u00a0 \u2018Already we have a great variety of members of Council+ and we are getting a wider variety of backgrounds and ages, especially younger members.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Each Branch can send two representatives, often but not necessarily their trustee, as they are already busy volunteers, and another agreed by committee, ideally reflecting a quite different member profile, such as an Affiliate or early career member.\u00a0 In any case, don\u2019t lose out on the chance for more people in the Branch to get involved.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Council+ is part of the IHBC+ the \u2018experimental evolution\u2019 of IHBC from 2015.\u00a0 Members told us they wanted a more democratic and transparent organisation that is easier to participate in and Council+ is one of our ways of working towards this.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Once again this meeting will offer a chance for delegates to experience the business of IHBC\u2019s national Committees \u2013 on Membership, Education, Policy and Communications \u2013 through a series of \u2018mini-meetings\u2019 discussing critical and current issues.\u00a0 They are \u2018tasters\u2019 of the real thing, but hopefully they show how much work our committees do, and encourage the widest participation.\u2019<\/p>\n

The reds and golds of the Court Room at St Andrews and the spectacular Seventeenth Century fireplace will make a very fitting setting for meeting in the approach to Christmas.<\/p>\n

If you are interested in finding out more about Council+ contact Fiona Newton (projects@ihbc.org.uk<\/a><\/u>) or see if your branch has its full quota of Council+ representatives and get involved there.<\/p>\n
