Strategic Advisory Group - Proposals to Replace The Advisory Group With a Meeting Involving All Members (JS)

Minutes:

Following a Strategic Advisory Group discussion on the 2016 Member Survey, the Authority considered proposals to change the way Members engage with strategic development by replacing the existing Strategic Advisory Group with a new forum in which all Members could participate.

 

Members were asked to confirm this new approach to help inform preparations for the Annual Meeting.

 

During the discussion Members agreed that the working title of the forum should be “Members’ Forum” and discussed the proposed terms of reference set out in Appendix 1. It was agreed that paragraph 6 should be deleted and the terms of engagement be discussed at the first Part 2 meeting of the Forum.

 

RESOLVED:

 

1.         To confirm that, with effect from the 2017 Annual Meeting, the Strategic Advisory Group be removed from part 4 of Standing Orders and replaced with an all Member discussion forum with the terms of reference set out in Appendix 1 with the deletion of paragraph 6.

 

2.         To name the discussion forum as the “Members’ Forum”.
