Regional boards

There are currently 6 TMA UK regions across the UK: West Midlands, South East Counties, North West & Manchester, Thames Valley, Yorkshire and Scotland. Each is operated by a regional board who are responsible for sourcing hosts and speakers for at least 4 events per annum. Typically events take the form of a presentation speaker, or panel, on a diverse range of subjects of interest to the turnaround community. Each event typically has 40-50 attendees. The regional board members have the benefit of speaking to this captive audience in their capacity as representatives of the TMA. They also have the added benefit of sending out invitations using their company logo to the TMA database of contacts.
