After emailing Kathryn about what they are doing about outreach we have the following reply. (so you see they do listen)

Quote:quote:Outlined in the IfA's business plan are recruitment targets which detail how many events the IfA should be undertaking per quarter.
These events involve direct contact, though the IfA also undertake activities throughout the year which don't involve direct contact, such as mailing materials to targeted groups.
Recruitment is inevitably a part of other staff members' work (for example the events that Kate Geary is involved with via Prospect).
As a result it is hard to accurately quantify how many events have taken place during the last year, the IfA at least meet the number outlined in the business plan and could make a very broad estimate that it is around 30+ a year, dependent on the work of individual staff members.
Resources as you are aware, are in short supply, but any suggestions of other areas/groups/individuals that should be targeted are welcome and people are free to make these suggestions that the IfA can look into putting into the current schedule.
