committees

Membership Services is the committee of WIAs (WI Advisers). The WIAs are appointed and trained by NFWI in all matters regarding the Constitution, Finance and the running of WIs. A WIA is there to give help and advice to WIs and to arrange training programmes for WIs and Groups in all WI procedures, eg: Programme Planning. It is the responsibility of WIAs to open and suspend WIs; no WI may be opened or suspended without a WIA being present. WI Advisers are willing to speak at any WI meeting, not just at Annual Meetings. They are also available at any time if advice is needed; a standing charge of £10 will be made towards travel as this is an extra visit. (A cheque for £10 should be made payable to Lincolnshire North FWI and handed to the WIA on the night of her visit.)
