What do our current RMB and RAC members have to say?
"I joined the RAC because after so many years of support I had received from RTPI, I felt it time for me to give something back. I also believed that it would present an opportunity to work alongside like minded people (as has proved to be the case)"
Tim Burton
"It’s easy to criticise from the outside, but as someone who believes in the value of planning I wanted to try to be positive and proactive. Being part of the RTPI Regional Activities Committee gives me the opportunity to effect change, support colleagues, and work to try to inspire others."
