Management
Committee Volunteers
We also seek volunteers to sit on the Law Centre
Management Committee. The governing
body responsible for the work of the Law Centre is the
Management Committee.
The
Committee is elected annually at our AGM, and brings
together a range of people with an interest in our work.
These include lawyers, local residents and people from
local community groups.
The
Committee meets every 6 weeks, in the evening, at the
Law Centre.
The
meetings give an opportunity to review the work of the
Centre, to plan for the future and to decide the way
in which we should work.
The
Committee is seeking to recruit new members in order
to:
•
increase active involvement in the work of the centre
• bring in new areas of expertise (for example,
at the moment we do not have anyone with formal financial
qualifications)
• ensure that the Centre reflects the local community,
and that it benefits from a wide range of skills and
experience.
Committee
members are not paid, although direct out-of-pocket
expenses can be claimed. Training is provided to assist
Committee members in carrying out their duties, where
appropriate.
If
you would be interested in joining the Committee, download
this info and contact Ruth
Hayes, the Law Centre Manager, for an application
pack. We are happy to arrange to meet with prospective
members, and for you to observe a Committee meeting.
