Communications Committee

Council at its meeting on 10 March 2020 agreed on new arrangements for the work of the Communications Committee, which has now been dissolved. Going forward the Member Development Committee (MDC) will take oversight of member communications within its remit, the Communications Manager also covering public relations, media and visibility of the sport to the wider public; and the establishment of a new Editorial Advisory Panel that is expected to meet infrequently. Adrian Bond (Vice-Chair of Council) will continue as organiser of Skydive the Expo and Chair of the Expo Working Group.
