NOMINATIONS – OFFICIAL SKILLS INQUIRY
The West Midlands Regional Assembly is asking whether colleagues would like to serve on their inquiry panel into the role of the Regional Development Agency with the skills agenda.
The panel acts like a select committee in the House of Commons – it read evidence, interview witnesses and then produces recommendations.
The time commitment varies and is a matter for the panel to decide upon.
West Midlands Business Council has been asked to send nominations of colleagues who would like to serve on this important inquiry – further details are below.
If you are interested in serving on this panel please contact me or the Assembly officer as stated below.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter.
Regards
West Midlands Business Council
