2014 Activity Plan/Annual Conference and AGM

Lead member of staff

Katie Chan

Indicative budget amount

£2,500

Description and overall rationale

The Annual Conference has traditionally been the opportunity for members of the chapter, and anyone else interested, to discuss topics of interest and make the annual decisions at the AGM. We aim to generate discussion about chapter’s activities.

For 2013 plan, see here.

Success criteria and Metrics - overall and quarter by quarter breakdown if relevant

Goals

We have a thriving community of WMUK volunteers:

• We will attract 58 community members in 2014, and aim for year-on-year increase in attendance of 20 (on wiki/civi event)

WMUK volunteers are highly diverse

• 20% of AGM attendees are women (on wiki/civi event)

Operationally, we want to make sure that the following things take place:

• There is a good programme of discussions and presentations (feedback form)

Risks

• Low attendance - spend inadequate
• Poor turn out leads to erosion of democratic mandate.
• Poor programme not generating interest
