South East
South East Region
The south-east regional committee consists of a Director, Chair, Vice-Chair, treasurer, secretary and a regional support officer.
The region typically hosts up to four events a year, a mix of on-line and at least one in person event. The south-east is a large region, and the in person events afford an excellent networking opportunity that our Members have come to rely on. The board try to host events at interesting and varying venues to offer further insight in to licensing less typical venues. Topics covered are inclusive of those at suggestion by our members, and we very much encourage our members to use training days as a platform to share their own knowledge.
If you are a licensing practitioner or professional living or working in the South East, you can join the Institute to become a regional member.
