Your Local Branch Committees
Our branch committee members are the eyes and ears of the CLA in each county and form an important role in formulating national policy, ensuring views and concerns of members in the Midlands are taken into account with CLA national lobbying.
Branch Committees meet before each CLA Council meeting, where chairmen raise issues directly with the CLA Presidential team in order to influence Policy.
To find out who is on your branch committee follow the links below.
We are always looking for new members to join committees. If you might be interested please contact Jan Hewes at the regional office on 01785 337010 or jan.hewes@cla.org.uk for an informal, confidential discussion.
