Do I need to be a band delegate to be on the Executive?
No. The Association's member bands appoint delegates to represent them at our general meetings. This is not a prerequisite for election to serve on the Executive Committee.

How often does the Executive Committee meet?
Decisions on where and when the Executive Committee meets are up to the Executive Committee (or else the President). It typically meets around six times a year, or every couple of months, and these days more usually online.

Am I too busy to serve?
Perhaps the adage ‘if you want something done, ask a busy person' applies… as long as the person isn't too busy!
We recognise that our member bands are community brass and concert bands and are essentially themselves volunteer organisations. We are grateful to all who give of their time in the service of any given band or of the wider association, whether in a formal capacity or otherwise.
