MEC Advisory Group

You can also nominate yourself for membership of MEC’s advisory group. This influential group meets (physically or virtually) twice per year with the group suggesting topics to discuss. Discussions are an opportunity for all to reflect on what is happening in the sector, identify key issues, seek future solutions and inform policy makers.

Pay it forward

Membership also includes an opportunity to nominate another organisation or individual for free membership for one year. The ‘Pay it forward’ scheme enables MEC to widen the membership base to reflect the broadest, most diverse community of expertise.
