We are always very keen to receive any nominations from members wishing to join the exec team, either to support an existing role, or to take on a vacant role on the Executive Committee. Noticeably, the Association is still looking for a chairperson, a role that is well supported by members of the executive committee.
Description of typical roles can be found on our website here.
The Executive Committe have recently added a new role - Police Liaison - to enable a more direct point of contact with Suffolk Constabulary.
Nominations can be submitted in advance to the meeting via email to: comms@suffolknwa.co.uk
In the event of no nominations being received prior to the meeting, nominations may be accepted from the floor on the day.
