The Company Committee Leaders

The committee leaders are voted for by the members and they remain in position for 12 months. The decision for them to carry on is put to vote again by the members after that year. The role of the committee leaders is to make sure all new members are looked after and made to feel welcome, to advocate for other members at committee meetings and to play an active role in the running of the organisation. They are also available to answer any questions you may have regarding the agency.
