Welcome
Welcome to the AAT Birmingham Branch Website I trust you will find this a useful resource for ‘Keeping you Informed’ and up to date with branch events and local networking and industry news.

For our branch to continue to grow and develop and to attract new members, we need the support of our members for feedback on the type of events they would like us to provide in the future. Your input to share news items or other information which you think would be of interest to branch members and as part of the succession planning for the branch, we need members willing to join the committee and take up an active role in helping to move the branch forward.

Please let me have your feedback and thoughts on this either by e-mail or please speak to one of the committee or myself after a meeting.

We are all committed to making Birmingham stand out and your support is vital to help us achieve this objective. The branch represents a wide body of disciplines from Members in Practice to members working in industry and finance and we aim to deliver a varied programme of events throughout 2012 dealing with the areas of interest that matter most to you all.

Please remember to let other AAT members you know, who have not attended a branch event recently, what your new look AAT Birmingham branch is doing for you. After all this is your branch and the more member involvement we can get, can only help make this a better branch for all of us.

I look forward to meeting you all soon.
