CAIRNGORMS NATIONAL PARK AUTHORITY Paper 3 4/11/05 CAIRNGORMS NATIONAL PARK AUTHORITY FOR INFORMATION Title: PROGRAMME OF BOARD MEETINGS IN 2006 Prepared by: ANDY RINNING, BOARD SECRETARIAT Purpose To seek members agreement to the dates of Board meetings, Planning and other Committee meetings in 2006, and to put these in the public domain. Recommendations That members agree: • the proposed dates for Board meetings, Planning and other Committee meetings; • the principle of holding Board meetings at different venues around the National Park, with open evenings held on the previous evening for the Board to meet with the local communities. Executive Summary A programme of board meetings is proposed, which continues the cycle started in 2003, in which the Planning Committee (which is a Committee comprising the whole Board) meets every second Friday, and the Board meets monthly. This programme will be kept under review and any proposed changes brought back to the Board for approval. On days where there is a Planning Committee only, it is suggested that the afternoons be used for informal business, such as training, seminars, workshops and informal briefing sessions. It is proposed that the Board continue its policy of meeting at different venues around the Park, and holding an informal open evening on the evening before a Board meeting for the local communities to meet and talk to Board Members about local matters and Park wide issues.
