We are running in person meetups to hear more from you about what you want and need from the Institute going forward. 

Our members are at the heart of what we do, and we want to make sure we are delivering events and information to you that are useful and relevant for your career development. 

John Hemi (National Board Chair), Kirsten Magnusson (National Board Deputy Chair), and Pamela Bell (Institute CEO) will be attending the meetups and listening to your feedback. 

They will be asking questions such as: 

• Why did you join the Institute and why have you stayed a member?
• What do you think is the most important thing about the Institute – i.e. what are our enduring values/purpose?
• What are the biggest issues you’re facing in the industry right now? How can we help?
• What is one thing the Institute could be doing to support our members today?
• What is something you would like the Institute to deliver (that we don’t already)?
• + any other ideas and feedback you have.
