Invitation to visit the BOPA stand at the BOPA Conference in Belfast

Hello All

As an Executive Committee we are looking forward to meeting those of you who are signed up to come to the conference in Belfast next month. The BOPA stand will be very visible as soon as you arrive to register, and at each break there will be Exec Committee members on the stand. Please come along and say hello!

The conference is an ideal opportunity for you to get more involved and take an active role in running BOPA; there are numerous subcommittees and interest/advisory groups for you to join should you wish.

If there is a specific subcommittee you are interested in, then below tells you who the chairs of the subcommittees are and when best to find them across the weekend.

In addition, there are several chairs from the interest/advisory groups at the conference. Please let the team on the BOPA stand know if there is a group you wish to get more involved with and we will have a ‘sign-up’ sheet to pass on contact details.
