JLAF MembersAbout Membership of the JLAFThere are 20 members of the Joint Local Access Forum. All of these members are appointed by the partnership councils together: the three councils of Bath & North East Somerset, Bristol City Council and South Gloucestershire Council. Membership appointments are reviewed periodically and there are then opportunities for new applications to be considered. You can submit an application at any time and it will be considered at the next recruitment, currently planned for spring 2012. Apply to be a member of the JLAF Eighteen of the members of the JLAF are appointed as individuals, not as representatives of any organisations that they may belong to. However, they are appointed on the basis of how they represent three interests:
Appointments to the JLAF are made so that there is a balance of these interests within the membership. There are an additional three members of the JLAF who are also councillors, that is one councillor appointed by each of the three partnership councils. As the JLAF is an independent advisory body, this maintains a balance between the councils being represented, and the JLAF's independent status. Periodically, members of the JLAF elect a Chair and a Vice Chair of the JLAF. Until the first JLAF meeting after the 30th June 2012, the Chairman is Ray Newbigin and the Vice Chairman is David Waterstone. The JLAF Members have also elected to have an informal post of Deputy Chairman and Robert Killen was elected to this post for the same period. The members of the JLAF are listed below.
