CHAPTER REPRESENTATIVES
The members of the GIA Chapter Area are represented on GIA Council and on RIAS Council by five GIA-RIAS Chapter Representatives. Each Rep represents the members of one of five geographic areas within the chapter, covering Argyll and Bute, Ayrshire, Dumfries and Galloway, North/South Lanarkshire, Glasgow and East/West Dunbartonshire and Renfrewshire.
Members can directly contact their Chapter Rep or attend one of our GO-GIA virtual meetings - a series of regular 'meet-ups’ or ‘surgeries’ to ask questions of their representative and raise their views. Please check our Events page for upcoming meetings.
