ALL BRANCHES AND REGIONAL COUNCILS

Circular No. NP/061/10
Dear Colleague,

EQUALITY MATTERS

1. National LGBT Members’ Conference - 14th May 2010 (EO/32)

Further to Circular No. NP/006/10, 8th January 2010, I am writing to remind Branches and Regional Councils that the closing date for receipt of nominations and motions is 16th April 2010. If you did not receive the earlier Circular, please contact Head Office as soon as possible.

I also remind Branches that invitations to host the 2011 Conference would be most welcome. Any invitation received will be placed before Conference.

2. National Women’s Advisory Committee Meeting – 13th May 2010 (EO/7)

Branches and Regional Councils are invited to submit items for consideration at the above meeting. Such items should deal solely with matters affecting female members and must not seek to determine Union policy. I would point out that the Committee cannot authorise the progression of claims. Branches submitting items for the agenda must inform their Regional Council of the content.

Branches and Regional Councils are reminded that observers are also welcome to attend the Advisory Committee, although expenses cannot be paid in this regard.

Items for the agenda must be received at Head Office no later than 27th April 2010.

3. Black and Ethnic Minority Members’ Advisory Committee Meeting -
10th June 2010 (EO/5)

Branches and Regional Councils are invited to submit items for consideration at the above meeting. Such items should deal solely with matters affecting black and ethnic minority members and must not seek to determine Union policy. I would point out that the Committee cannot authorise the progression of claims. Branches submitting items for the agenda must inform their Regional Council of the content.

Branches and Regional Councils are reminded that observers are also welcome to attend the Advisory Committee, although expenses cannot be paid in this regard.

Items for the agenda must be received at Head Office no later than 25th May 2010.

Yours sincerely,

B. CROW
General Secretary
