Why Join?
With one membership, you and your authority can access our full range of events and supporting material. These will appeal to officers from Policy, Performance, ICT and Procurement, but will also support service managers across the council with a remit for performance improvement.
What are the benefits of membership?
As a member of the PIN, you and your organisation will be able to:
- Save time, money and effort – we provide members with the tools, support and information to deliver improvement in their own organisations
- Avoid re-inventing the wheel – through workshops and online discussions, members can network with peers to learn how fellow practitioners have dealt with similar challenges
- Keep up-to-date with key developments – our newsletters, blogs, quarterly PINpoint magazine and regular policy analysis will provide you with all the information you need about the latest changes affecting Local Government
- Benefit from ongoing support – our workstream approach ensures that interactive workshops are complemented by online discussions and advice before and after the event
- Choose which workshops to attend – our flexible membership arrangements meant that subscribers can use their delegate places at any combination of the workshops across each of our three themes
- Read CIPFA's technical guidance on procurement and ICT - members can access the Procurement and Information Technology streams of CIPFA's Technical Information Service (TISonline), a library of comprehensive guidance aimed at finance and other senior managers in the public sector.
