Join your local regional committee

What will you be doing?

Our regional committees exist to:

• Promote the aims of the Society and contribute to the delivery of the Society’s strategy.
• Share geographical knowledge through public events, such as talks, field visits and debates.
• Deliver a programme of events that meets the needs and interests of their local communities, including Fellows, Members, students, and the public.
• Provide Fellows and Members based across the regions with the opportunity to meet and create new connections furthering geography and all it stands for.
• Showcase the geography and geographers based in their region.
• Inspire the next generation of geographers.
• Engage with everyone with an enthusiasm for and interest in geography, travel and exploration.

As a committee member, you will help fulfil these goals through delivering the regional programme of events and being a positive ambassador for the Society as well as the discipline of geography.

The committees do not have a formal structure and have developed different ways to deliver their programmes. Most committees have a designated Chair and committee members. Some committee members will have a specific role such as Treasurer or other responsibilities may include publicity and marketing, links with specific organisations or subject areas.
