Set Up a New Regional Committee

England - East
England - South West
Northern Ireland
Republic of Ireland
Wales

How it works - Each new Regional Committee must have a minimum of 2 Committee Members - a Chair and a Deputy Chair. There must also be a person assigned to the role of Treasurer (this could be the Deputy Chair). There are some minimum requirements for regional activity, but volunteers are not expected to devote all their spare time to NAWIC, and are instead encouraged to be realistic about their time commitments. In regions which cover large geographic areas, Regional Committees are not expected to host NAWIC events across the entire region. Following is a general outline of the Chair, Deputy and Treasurer roles, plus others which Committees may wish to assign:

Chair - collaborates with Committee Members to set and carry out regional annual aims, which may include organising events, collaborating with other regional organisations, organising schools engagement, or anything else you and your team set out to do. As you settle into your role, you will find ways to learn about the needs of your Regional Members and feed that learning back into regional aims. Experience in leadership is not necessarily required. More importantly, applicants should be passionate about our purpose of building an equitable and inspiring construction industry.
Deputy Chair - supports the Chair in leading the Regional Committee, and takes over the role of Chair after the agreed period (either 1 or 2 years).
Treasurer - responsible for general oversight of funds and financial recordkeeping, creation of a brief annual financial report (1/2 A4 page) for AGM, and working with the National treasurer on a quarterly basis to coordinate Membership payments.
Event Coordinator(s) - responsible for proposing ideas, helping schedule an annual programme (minimum one event per quarter) and organising events.
Social Media Coordinator(s) - responsible for posting about regional activity, such as NAWIC events and Committee Member profiles, on whichever platform(s) the Region finds most appropriate.
