-----Original Message----- From: William Kilbride [mailto:will...@dpconline.org] Sent: 18 May 2010 10:05 Subject: New Personal Membership Class for DPC
Dear All, I'm writing to tell you about some changes DPC is making to membership that will make it easier for consultants, sole traders and recent graduates to participate in our work. A new class of 'Personal Membership' is about to be trialled so that individuals without an organisational affiliation can apply for grants, attend specialist events, get priority access to publications and join work streams which have previously been restricted to institutional members. Personal membership will be launched for a trial period of twelve months in July 2010. Sole traders, recently-graduated students and consultants will be able to join the coalition for a year with a one off payment of 120 pounds. Personal members will be invited to participate in all the activities of the coalition throughout the year. In the first year, fees will be fixed and places limited on a first come-first-served basis to twenty five. A review towards the end of the year will put personal membership on a longer term footing within the coalition. We'd like to hear from interested parties and welcome questions which will help us shape this membership category. Further details and an application pack will be released in early July 2010. An early expression of interest will guarantee a place for those eligible. Prospective applicants should also read the DPC prospectus 2010-11. Please do forward this announcement to parties that you think might be interested. This innovation originated from the lively discussions at our Planning Day in November 2009 and was taken forward by a small working party. It was approved by the Board of the Coalition in March 2010.
