The Freelance Committee asks…

How can we help you?

Meeting for the first time under new Chairman Jeff Stuart, on March 1, the Freelance Committee prepared its Budget for 2011 and discussed the range of ways it could contribute most to helping the members of the Division in what are tough times for freelances.

As a result of those discussions, it swiftly became clear that the provision of training for members, and the dissemination of up-to-date information to members, remained the Committee’s main priorities.

But what training…?

What information…?

These are the areas in which the Committee needs help in determining the type of practical steps they can take to help meet members’ requirements.

Can you help…? Yes, you can.

You can do so by telling us what training you feel would benefit you most and/or what information you need or want most. Do this by simply e-mailing Chairman Jeff on: Stuart077@btinternet.com .

The Committee is planning a minimum of four, maximum of six training events in 2011 (budget allowing) and already has some proposals of their own to “get the ball rolling”.

It is vital to speak up swiftly, though, or the necessary “windows of opportunity” in the year may no longer be available.

Remember, it is your suggestions and your proposals that we’d like to incorporate in this year’s programme.

Please write and tell us what your needs are as soon as you can.
