NORTHERN IRELAND ASSEMBLY & BUSINESS TRUST
Assembly Members are invited to join the Northern Ireland Assembly & Business Trust (NIABT).
The NIABT was established in 2002 as an independent, neutral and self-financing educational charity which organises programmes for Assembly Members and business representatives to include exchanges, seminars, visits and placements.
The main aim of the NIABT is to provide Assembly Members with a better insight into how the local business sector operates, thereby facilitating them in making more informed judgements on policy and legislation relating to the local economy. The NIABT also aims to improve the business community’s understanding of how the Assembly and devolution work and how policy and legislation is initiated and developed.
A meeting to re-constitute the NIABT will take place on Thursday 28 June 2007 at 5.30pm in the Members Dining Room, Parliament Buildings. Invitations to attend have gone to many in the local business community.
For catering purposes Assembly Members proposing to attend this meeting are requested to contact Judith Murdoch, External Liaison Unit, Room 54, telephone [028 905] 21195.
