Participation in Braxton Network Meetings

Attendance at Conferences
All members are expected, as a minimum, to send at least one
delegate to their local regional meeting and to a world meeting
each year. Member firms should be represented annually at both
the world and regional meetings. The commitment from members
is expected to increase within larger firms and the number of
attendees should be commensurate with the size of the firm.
In addition, members are encouraged, whenever possible, to
attend meetings taking place in other regions of the network.

Attendance at Sector Group and Other Committee MeetingsMember firms are expected to support regional initiatives to
develop sector groups or other committees by sending the
appropriate member of their firm to attend such meetings and
supporting their ongoing involvement. On occasion, member firms
may be asked by headquarters or the region to support a specific
person in carrying out a role either as chair of a committee, or
otherwise. This may include allowing them time to prepare and
attend meetings and to work on projects for the benefit of the
network as a whole.
In some regions participation in certain committees may be
deemed to be part of the criteria for membership.

Participation in the Secondment ProgrammeAll member firms are encouraged to participate in the international
secondment programme by recognising the value to their own firm
of staff spending time visiting another member firm and the
development that the staff member makes through this process. In
addition, there is a significant value to the firm when that person
returns and can share knowledge of how other firms operate in
order to assist the development of best practice.
A secondment is also an excellent way to develop an understanding
of how the network operates, which will help the referral process
and may lead to the development of joint initiatives.
