When a survey was undertaken by Stella Gannon and Maria Gavin with the CMI groups around Ireland over the past 18 months, one of the areas identified that many of the groups felt isolated and would like more information and a sense of belonging to the wider group of CMI.
This Forum will be an opportunity to participate more fully and have these questions answered and you are warmly invited to attend.
It will be followed by a short AGM, which is necessary annually to fulfil the obligations of the CMI Board.
There is no fee for this event, but a charge of €10 will apply for a light lunch which will be provided by the hotel.
