Our Inspirational Committee Awards recognise member networks committees that have initiated novel activities or approaches in order to engage or provide services for their communities.

This should include initiatives to make the committee or events more inclusive to engage new members, an activity which has had a significant demonstrable impact in the community or other novel/significant activity which demonstrably supports our wider strategy. 

These awards only recognise activities undertaken under the auspices of our member-led networks (normally Local Sections, Interest Groups, Division Regions and Early Career Network).
