other interested parties; these
activities are locally driven and implemented, subject only to such controls

Institute; in particular, the finances provided for or generated by any
Regional Group are part of the Institute’s finances and are therefore totally
subject to the control of the Board (including resumption and audit). Comprises all Fellows of the Institute; functions largely as a coterie
