Fiona for Policy and Membership).<\/p>\n<p>With that National Office support too, I hope you can compile and, as feasible, agree an interim list of priority pandemic-related issues and areas for your Committee that we can bring to the board for evaluation and response.<\/p>\n<p>As you can see, at this stage we are still continuing our \u2018light touch\u2019 strategy to gather as broad a response as efficiently as possible.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, we will also use feedback responses to consider how any more formal survey might help.\u00a0 Indeed I would also welcome your thoughts on such a survey and its content, either within or apart from your feedback.<\/p>\n<p>Many thanks in advance for your help in bringing this forward and I look forward to hearing more on how we can best help our volunteers, members and the wider sector.<\/p>\n<p>See more on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ihbc.org.uk\/page65\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">IHBC Committees<\/a><\/p>\n<p>See David\u2019s original call for <a href=\"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/?p=26587\">feedback on pandemic pressures and priorities as the lockdown eases<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following his call for IHBC member feedback on pandemic pressures and priorities as the lockdown eases, IHBC Chair David McDonald has asked the IHBC\u2019s four lead Committees to feed back to the board thoughts on \u2018issues that you\u2026 think should &hellip;
