Management Committee
The committee is elected each year at the Annual General Meeting, which was held on Friday 23rd November 2007.

Room 2, The Adelphi Centre
12 Commercial Road
Glasgow
G5 0PQ

We also co-opt people to help organise Ability Fest events.
We are particularly looking for:

• User led Groups/Disabled Individuals/Family carers
• People with a background in learning disability
• People with a background in young people and transition

Commitment:
Committee Meetings are held every 6 to 8 weeks during the working week. As the event date approaches committee members may be asked to take on some hands-on tasks, in-line with their expertise.
