Regional Networks Newsletter: Spring 2022

The Regional Networks enable tenants, residents and the Scottish Government to work collaboratively on issues of national policy. This Newsletter provides an update on how the Regional Networks work, the recent activities the Networks have been involved with and how you might be able to participate.


Annual General Meetings (AGMs)

One of our great regrets of 2020 was that our AGMs had to be cancelled as a result of the pandemic. We were delighted to be able to hold our 2021 AGMs on a virtual platform last summer, with the assistance of Tenants Information Service (TIS) and Tenant Participation Advisory Service (TPAS). These were successful online events and we thank everyone who joined us via Zoom and took part.

We are in the early stages of planning for our 2022 Annual General Meetings. Information on the AGMs will be published on our website shortly, so please watch this space for details.

We will now spotlight each individual network, then take a closer look at some of the work Regional Network members have been involved with recently.
