Regional Representatives

The Guild provides an important link between members and the Committee through a system of Regional Representatives (RRs). Within the UK, there are representatives covering Scotland, Wales, and most of the English counties. The Guild also has Regional Representatives in Australia, Canada, Europe, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, and the USA.

Regional reps gather at Conference & AGM 2018

A Regional Representative is responsible for promoting the Guild within his or her area, for organising events, where appropriate, for local members, and for acting as an essential link between them and the Committee. The representatives may also provide advice to Guild members whose registered names focus in their region. If you are a Guild member, and you may be interested in becoming the RR for one of the vacancies, you are invited to review the RR job description and contact the Rep Coordinator.
