Our National Executive Committees bring the RTPI to life in your area. They connect you to the wider RTPI community through local expertise and dedicated support. 

How we're set up 

Each RTPI Nation (Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Ireland) has its own Executive Committee.   

Their role is to: 

• supervise, promote and direct the Institute's relations in that nation on planning issues (other than education and membership) with central and local government, other professional bodies pressure groups or the general public
• implement and monitor within that nation policies for the development of planning thought
• support and assist the National Director
• supervise and sustain Chapters where appropriate
• inform the Board of Trustees of issues it should be made aware of
• support members in their professional practices 

Thinking of joining a committee?  

We're looking for fresh perspectives and new energy. Every year, we welcome new committee members through elections.  

Curious about what's involved? We're hosting friendly drop-in sessions where you can chat with current members before nominations open in September. 

We're a friendly group and newcomers are always welcome. We meet at various locations and offer hybrid options for those who can't travel.
