RTPI Yorkshire committees

Our activities, including CPD events, social events, policy consultation roundtables, APC briefings and debates are co-ordinated by two committees and there are many great opportunities to get involved with these activities even if you are not a committee member.

RTPI Yorkshire is volunteer led, with activities managed by members for members through the work of our:

Regional Management Board (responsible for the general running of the region)

Regional Activities Committee (supports the RMB in organising events and activities in the region)
