Each division elects a representative to sit on the National Executive Council which meets approximately 4 – 5 times every year. Members in each division are encouraged to keep in regular contact with their NEC delegate and other members of the divisional committee and to take advantage of the range of meetings and social events in their area. Remember, the more you put in as a member the more you will get out.
