Please join us at the Courtyard, Newcastle University for our Annual Members Reception on Wednesday 19 February. This event is free and is open to all North East Members.
The event is also an excellent opportunity to reconnect with colleagues and fellow members in a relaxed setting. Refreshments and catering will be provided.
During the reception, we will welcome our 2025 Regional Chair, Dominic Crowley, and celebrate our volunteers who play a vital role in various RTPI project and initiatives such as those on our RTPI Committee, Award Judges, and members of the Young Planner steering group. We will also be celebrating newly Chartered Members in the region, including new Fellows, Associates, and Honorary members. This marks a significant milestone in their careers, and we extend our heartfelt congratulations to them on this achievement. It will be a pleasure to see all our other members in attendance as well.
