Regional Organising Committees

Lady with childA Regional Organising Committee (ROC) is a sub-committee of NCMA with the power to organise the Regional Forums in its region and to promote the work of NCMA and its members regionally.

 

ROCs are designed to support the aim of NCMA to widen participation among NCMA’s members and by organising Regional Forums to inform the work of the National Policy Forum (NPF).

 

ROCs have the flexibility to organise their forums in the way that suits their region as long as they meet the principles defined in the Standing Orders for Regional Forums. It is for the committee to decide where the Forum is held, how it is organised and what package of training and other activities will attract the maximum number of delegates to the event.

 

Each ROC is composed of three officers; Chair, Secretary and Treasurer; and no more than five ordinary committee members. Between them they should represent at least three local authority areas distributed across the geographical area of the region. All committee members must be current members of NCMA.

 

ROCs were introduced in 2008 and below you can find details of the Regional Organising Committee members in your region.

 

The terms of reference for Regional Organising Committees are available to download.
