Your South West Regional Board wants you!
The South West Regional Board meet 3 or 4 times a year to discuss and influence industry and regional topics and network.
The key objectives of the Regional Board are as follows:
- Gather and assess the views of Members.
- Communicate Regional views to BPIF Directors, Committees and National Council.
- Ensure important information is disseminated within the Region.
- Comment on plans, policies, strategies, priorities and budgetary matters passed by National Council.
- Receive reports from and provide guidance to the Regional Director.
- Promote relations and determine representations on government agencies and external organisations.
- Promote benefits of BPIF Membership to non-Member companies in the Region.
The Board is generally hosted by suppliers and members alike from around the region so meeting venues differ throughout the year. The Agenda will include some ‘working' items to assist the BPIF with lobbying or influencing over matters such as Brexit and suggested items for the next agenda include:
GDPR Review
Regional Board additional members
Paper Pricing
Businesses for sale/purchase
Tenders
Specialist Services provided by BPIF
Printing Outlook/Trends
Brexit
Trending pay awards for 2018
The current Board have devised the Venn diagram to demonstrate the variety of value they get from being part of the team. Should you wish to join the team or have any items you wish the Board to raise on your behalf, please contact Dawn Reid on [email protected]
