Apologies for cross-posting --------------------------- Colleagues, ALT's Further Education Advisory Committee (FEAC), which is chaired by Cathy Ellis from Brooklands College, is seeking to expand by between 5 and 7 new members. The primary purpose of FEAC is to help align ALT’s strategic direction and activities to encompass the FE sector - broadly defined to include Adult and Community Learning, and Work-based Learning. Members of ALT Committees must be individual members of ALT, and must join ALT as individuals on appointment to an ALT committee, if not already members. FEAC meets three times per year. Dates of meetings are fixed to accomodate maximum attendance by members, rather than set as a fait accompli. Two meetings are held from ~11.00 - ~15.00 usually in Birmingham, which can be accessed reasonably conveniently from all over the UK. One meeting is held by telephone conference, and lasts around 1.5 hours. The next meeting of FEAC - a face-to-face one will take place in May or June 2005. The date has not yet been fixed. Travelling and subsistence expenses are paid if claimed. Membership of ALT committees is normally for a period of 3 years, with a rolling process of replacement. Thus around one third of members are replaced each year. Appointment to FEAC is governed by "Determing the membership of ALT committees", which can be downloaded from here: http://www.alt.ac.uk/docs/Membership_of_ALT_Comm_20040623_Final_NoSR.pdf If you would like to be considered for membership, please email a brief expression of interest using the headings below, to Seb Schmoller - [log in to unmask] - by no later than 24/3/2005. The best way to do this is by forwarding this email back to me, with the introductory rubric deleted, and the gaps below filled in. Please ensure a meaningful subject line. Many thanks.
