Scottish Arbs Please

[ArbMish]

Some of you may have received an email from me...if you have please reply..if not have a read...

 

 

My name is Amy I am a self employed tree surgeon (read subby) and student studying arboriculture at the Scottish School of Forestry. After attending the Arboriculture Association's (AA) Scottish branch AGM I've been asked to meet with the CEO of the Arb' Association in March, to discuss "concerns and proposals for the future”.

 

I am trying to get as many opinion/ideas etc as possible. I'm not advocating for the AA, I am not employed by them and I don't volunteer for them. I am doing this out of my own determination to help the Scottish arboriculture industry moving forward.

 

This is a great opportunity for Scotlands arbs to have their opinion fed back directly to the AA. Everyone (no matter how small or big) has a view and this is important to structure and guide the way forward so any feedback and the reasons why would be fantastic.

 

Negative opinions are absolutely fine as long as reasons why are included. (If you need to vent take this as an opportunity but please explain the reasons for venting).

 

If you can also include:

 

What you would like to see the AA doing in Scotland?

 

What is not happening but should be?

 

What's happening that is not effective?

 

Any other general thoughts?

 

I will keep all feedback anonymous of course. I intend to present my findings as group opinions. However the more feedback received the easier it will be to convince the CEO that things need to change and why.

 

With that in mind you can comment here or private message me if you like. Some people have already asked to speak to me over the phone or meet me in person..I’m completely fine with this, private message me and I can arrange this.

 

I look forward to hearing from you all.

 

Cheers
