No images? Click here Dear colleague,This is an important update from the Network Development Programme inviting you to take part in a consultation on the future of our network. In this email you will find a set of discussion papers for your organisation to consider between now and 11 January 2021, along with important details about next week's AEA Annual Conference. I am writing to invite your organisation to take part in a consultation on the future of our network under the shared Age Family brand. The consultation discussion papers:
The introduction to these papers can be found on The Loop and will be discussed at the AEA Annual Conference next Wednesday, 11th November. If you haven't yet booked on to the virtual conference, you can do so here. Accompanying the introduction are 14 associated papers on specific topics. These do not need to be read before the conference, but should be considered by your organisation over the coming weeks. They are available to read and download now by clicking here. Some further papers will be added by mid-December. There are a number of different ways to take part in the consultation which ends on 11 January 2021:
If there is demand, additional national virtual events will be organised. How do we provide feedback?
What if we have questions? You can email any questions about the process or the discussion papers to networkfuture@ageuk.org.uk. Or, you can ask a member of the AEA Executive Committee, Age Cymru or your Age UK regional link. If they cannot answer your question they will pass it on to the Network Development Programme Management Office. The overall timeline for the development of the new Network Agreement is as follows:
I look forward to seeing some of you at the AEA Annual Conference and to receiving your feedback on the discussion papers. Very best wishes, Paula Bee, Co-Chair, AEA |
