BYC Members Meeting (November 2014)

National Member meetings are a chance for larger, national members to come together to explore common issues and challenges. This will be a chance for us to explore with you how you can get the most out of your membership of the British Youth Council (BYC), look at how we can work in partnership with you more closely and share with you the latest developments at BYC.

The next National Members meeting is on the 22nd November (as advertised in the national calendar for this year). This meeting will be focussed on the campaign priorities, with updates from BYC's International team and other BYC members. It is essential attendance for a least one member of your delegation in order to make sure you:

• Understand how BYC democratic processes work
• Understand how you can make the most of your membership
• Question BYC board members about our work and support for you

In order to make sure that members can send someone – BYC will cover the cost of one young person (aged 25 and under) to attend this essential training for each member organisation. This can either be booked for you in advance or paid back after the event.

Those who attended the meeting in June 2014 said:

• "Good debate, good selection of organisations, good info and nice to meet new people"
• "It's good to attend as you get the most of your membership of BYC and get to talk to likeminded young people"
• "National Members Meeting enable you to be well informed of the issues that affect young people from the other organisations"
• "Great to find out more about how BYC works, influence policy and network with other orgainsations"
• "The debate was amazing, others should attend because it gives you a chance to have your say and represent your organisation"
