Meetings The officers of the INORMS member societies meet on a formal basis at each society's annual meetings. On such occasions, there is a discussion of the current issues facing the societies and their members, and exchange of relevant material. Outside the formal meetings, there is exchange of detailed information, often on a bilateral basis, such as details of a mentoring scheme, or material for shared training and development curricula. |
