We are busy preparing for TAF’s annual conference, the Best Practice Exchange, which will be taking place on the 23rd of June at County Hall in London. This will be the first BPEx since 2019 due to the pandemic, so we hope you will come along and hear from our great list of speakers! The programme, website and tickets are all available on our website and if you are quick and buy tickets before the end of April you can save 20% on all tickets! April is, like for many of you, renewals month – thank you to everyone who has renewed and continued to support TAF, this is a special community and we have big plans for the year ahead so truly appreciate your support.
We have put together a member brochure outlining all the new benefits we have launched and, by popular request, are also including a membership certificate for the first time, so watch this space as we will be sending them out shortly.
As part of our member research, we are keen to find out more about what types of events you put on and have launched a short events survey and we would be grateful if you could take a few minutes to fill it in. It will really help us can better tailor our support in this area and find partners than can help TAF members in this area.
As always, we would love to hear from you if there is anything that you would like to see TAF doing and any feedback that you may have.
