What is involved?

It is expected that Executive Committee (EC) members will each year attend and report at the two EC meetings and the Annual General Meeting (AGM), for which expenses will be reimbursed in line with RaAM policy. Where physical attendance is impossible, some form of video-conferencing link will normally be set up.
