Come together to hear more about plans for RIBA in the South West this year, plans already in place in Wiltshire and discuss the initiatives or activity you would like to see in your area.
RIBA Wiltshire doesn't currently have an active committee, so part of the discussion will focus on the future of the branch.
To form a new Wiltshire branch committee we need a new Chair, Secretary and Treasurer - voluntary posts usually held for a period of two years. If you would like to find out more, you can contact RIBA South West: riba.southwest@riba.org
As the Wiltshire branch is currently inactive, your RIBA Southwest Regional Engagement Partner, Nathalie Morton will Chair this meeting.
Agenda
- RIBA South West update
- Future of the branch - forming a new committee or affiliation with other branches
- Financial update and RIBA Wiltshire LIF application
- Discussion topic: what activities would RIBA Members in Wiltshire like to take part in or learn more about?
What does a local RIBA branch do?
A RIBA branch acts as a local hub for architects, providing a platform for professional development, networking, and advocacy, while also contributing to the promotion of architectural excellence and community engagement.
The activities and functions of a RIBA branch can include:
- Networking and community building: Organising events, lectures, and social gatherings to facilitate networking among local architects and professionals in the built environment.
- Supporting students and emerging professionals: Traditionally, Branches collaborate with their local schools of architecture, facilitating connections between students, young architects, and established professionals.
- Knowledge sharing: Creating platforms for the exchange of ideas, experiences, and knowledge within the local architectural community.
- Promoting local architecture: Educating the public about the value of good design and architecture in the community.
- Advocacy and representation: Representing the interests of local architects and the architectural profession to local authorities, government bodies, and other relevant stakeholders.
