Equity Online Branch - News Updates 2019 - 2020

9/11/2020

At the end of 2020 the Online Branch was assigned its first Staff Organiser to assist in the running of the branch. It was decided to start holding video meet ups since Equity now recognised them as ways to democratically engage in order to formally vote on branch raised business.

The last news updates of 2020 were sent out to members in 3 forms. As PDF providing fixed formatting. In word.docx format for screen readers and as an MP3 audio file read by the chair. This practice requires added time but talk of access is not enough it has to be actioned. Read or Listen below to Updates 4, 5 & 6.

The branch are now meeting on the first Sunday of the month until July. The evolution of the branch is in the hands of those attending. Items raised are fed back to the committee and it is those suggestions and discussions that lead the strategy and actions of the committee on their behalf. We are reaching out to the US and Canada Network to invite them to join the branch. A request to facilitate official meetings with formal agendas are being scheduled following a members asking when the next one would take place not late socially on a Sunday. As Chair this make me very happy.
