The call to get involved for 2023 is now open!
Taking an active part in the work of the Association ensures that all activities are shaped by Members’ priorities and also offer valuable opportunities for professional development and recognition.
We issue an open call annually for Members in good-standing to become more involved in the work of ALT and this year's call is now open.
To encourage the widest representation from across our Membership, Members who have no existing role in ALT’s activities or been involved in ALT’s activities in the past year will be given priority.
We work hard to ensure that our governance and volunteer committees are representative of ALT’s wider membership across sectors aligned to our commitment to promoting equality, diversity and inclusion in ALT. To help us track our progress, we ask that you complete our monitoring survey as part of the call to get involved.
