Divisions

Separate Divisions have been established to focus on specific product areas . These Divisions initiate separate action programmes, according to their own particular requirements and priorities. It is anticipated that additional Divisions will be formed in due course, reflecting the growing membership and business interests of the Association.

Working Groups

In parallel, Working Groups have been established to implement action programmes which are of common interest to more than one Division across the membership.

Task Forces

Task Forces are formed within individual Divisions to carry out specific tasks or manage projects. Often these Task Forces operate in cooperation with other interested bodies such as Research Centres or sister Trade Organisations.

Each Executive Committee Member stands normally for a 3 year term of office. The current Executive is listed below.
