Members are invited by the board and may include retired board members or specific key members of the wider community. What is the role of the Advisory Board?The role of the Advisory Board is to support TPF Board in a non-voting capacity. The aim is to have access to tacit knowledge and experience.

How does one leave the Advisory Board?A member can give notice at any time or may be asked to leave by the sitting TPF president.
How do members communicate? A low-volume mailing list is set up for members to communicate with each other and between TPF Board liaison and the Advisory Board. Who is Chair of the Advisory Board?The position of Chair and liaison with TPF Board is held by the sitting TPF president who will keep the communications open.
What is expected of a member of the Advisory Board?Members provide help and assistance to our organisation where possible for future and historical issues. TPF Board may occasionally invite Advisory Board members to join board meetings.
