117. Meeting of the Finance, Membership & General Purposes Committee

Earlier this week, the above Committee, more popularly known as FM & GP, met in London to discuss a wide range of issues. The Master chairs this committee and it has wide ranging responsibilities around the day-to-day running of our Company.

Two key areas were discussed around recruitment. Thames Warden, Mike Williamson, is going to make the recruitment of younger Members a key theme of his year as Master and he has had some very helpful discussions with some of our existing younger Members about how this might be achieved. You can expect to see a number of new initiatives coming forward later this year.

Also, Court Assistant David Richards is working with a couple of the professional institutions to see how we can tap into their new senior Members as a potential source of recruitment. Again, please look out for new initiatives in this area in the coming months.

We are fortunate in having Members of our Company who are looking at new and innovative ways in helping us grow. I am sure you will, with me, want to offer them every support.
