Board Society Links
As part of its benefit to IPA Members and Societies, each IPA Board member is a “Link” to a number of Constituent Organisations.
A full description of the Role of Board Members and their link function, can be read in full in the Procedural Code entry, by clicking this link
Role of Board Members.
The link responsibilities are as follows:
The Board has adopted the following general responsibilities in relation to links with IPA Constituent Organisations:
a) to form channels of communication principally with the executives, but also through Members where possible, of Constituent Organisations in order to transmit information about the IPA and receive views from them on IPA related issues;
b) to explain IPA policy, to encourage debate on it, such as issues to do with education, and to act as a conduit for ensuring the Board receives comments on these issues, so that the formulation of IPA policy is strongly influenced by the views of its Constituent Organisations;
c) to brief Constituent Organisations prior to Board meetings and receive views, and to inform them of the outcome of Board meetings;
d) to encourage Constituent Organisations to participate in IPA activities and projects, such as the DPPT and CAPSA programmes, and provide information and advice on such matters.
