Hi all,

Subject: [act-travelwise-board] Updates from Monday's Agenda Items
Morning all,
Here are some updates for you:
Autumn events programme:
- 'Active Travel is Good Business: The Best Employer Walking and Cycling
Schemes' on 9 October in London is open for registration. The room is paid for
by City of London but we need to cover tea/coffee.
- 'Travel Demand Management for Major Events' was going to be 18 Sept in
Birmingham. Ten delegates had registered. Our Regional Reps decided to postpone
as they felt it needed more like 20 delegates.
- 'Transforming Public Transport in Leeds' is going ahead on 18 Sept with
currently 21 delegates. The partnership with TPS has helped with numbers. Their
members also get free places. I've proposed this model for the Midlands as well.
- 'Travel Planning for Universities and Hospitals' we'd like to hold in
November at AECOM in London. Richard Adams would be the lead presenter. He is
asking AECOM's permission and exploring room availability. We'd need a
university speaker and a hospital speaker (Rui?) as well.
- Business Event with a Public Transport Theme - North Bristol SusCom would
host in November. We're currently making plans.
Annual Conference Jan 2019:
- We've got an open call for papers, sponsors and exhibitors. SYSTRA will be a
lead sponsor. The attached spreadsheet has companies to approach, which I'm now
working on. Some of the contacts in the spreadsheet are old, but I've added a
lot more including all Smarter Travel LIVE! 2018 exhibitors. The floorplan for
exhibitors is also attached. I'll need to get the contacts into HubSpot.
- Chris Boardman isn't available as a keynote. We need to confirm 1-2 keynotes
soon, to help with promotion.
- More updates soon.
TravelWise Week
- It's next week, so help with social media would be appreciated. There are 7
local authorities signed up so far. Don Kent has prepared a table with what
each of them are planning, which I'll be highlighting in comms.
- I updated the poster templates online, based on Illustrator files from last
year that I received from Diva.
Board Invites
- Sean Ford of WSP, Marilyn Healy of WYCA and Arun Khagram of MP Smarter Travel
have expressed an interest in potentially joining the Board. They have been
invited as observers on 25 September. Sean isn't sure he can attend, but Arun
has accepted. Marilyn has just emailed as I write this, so I'll read that in a
minute.
- At the same time, Becca, Prea and Andy have been waiting to leave the Board,
so this will be done ASAP with Companies House via Chris Dixon.
Charity Registration
- As you've seen, our 'representation' following an initial negative decision
has not succeeded in changing the Charity Commission's view. There is still a
lack of clarity in terms of the public benefit of our work and the orientation
towards member (private) benefits. They also raised some new points about not
understanding the environmental benefit of travel planning, although
demonstrating this would seem easier than addressing some of the other points.
One for discussion on Monday...
That's all for now,
Randall
