Nominations now OPEN to join techUK’s Local Public Services Committee (LPSC)
Are you an industry leader in local government? We want to hear from YOU!
Nominations now open for twenty four techUK members to join our Local Public Services Committee (LPSC) for a tenure of two years (October 2021 – July 2023). The LPSC drives techUK’s work for delivering better local public service outcomes and working with councils and wider tech industry to create the environment that enables transformation to happen and innovation to flourish at the local level. Over the last two years the committee has hosted several councils, as well as MHCLG, LOTI and Socitm, as well as held meeting with senior council leaders at their town halls when we could meet in person. The LPSC will continue to engage with stakeholders as part of our meetings, with the aim of one meeting each quarter to be held in person with a stakeholder.
The primary role of the LPSC is to represent the tech sector at a high level to local government and all relevant bodies and sets the strategic direction of techUK’s Local Public Services programme, contributing to forward planning and ensuring the programme accurately reflects members’ and our council partners priorities.
We are also electing the positions of Chair and two Vice-Chairs of the Committee (one is reserved for an SME Vice Chair). Twelve of the seats on the Committee are reserved for Small and Medium sized Enterprise (SME) representatives. You may nominate yourself for both Chair and Vice-Chair positions. If so, you will also nominate yourself for membership of the committee automatically.
To nominate yourself or a colleague, simply read through the Terms of Reference (ToR) and complete the form (both attached) and return it to Georgina Maratheftis by 17:00 Wednesday 28 July.
