Apologies for not being more involved in the discussion - really interesting to hear the to-ing and fro-ing over MIfA level membership of IfA.
It seems to me that the proposal for merger is on the table and I don't personally see how that would benefit the membership of the AAI&S other than giving administrative support. However that proposal is on the table and there are no succinct alternatives in circulation.
There definitely seems to be a need for the re-structure of the AAI&S membership grades. They seem to be most important within the commercial world for getting a job and recognising what level of skills and competencies you have when talking to colleagues/clients etc. So it makes sense to me to re-structure the corporate levels of membership of the AAI&S in line with the BAJR grades.
What would people's opinions be of putting two further proposals together to put to the vote on the future of the AAI&S alongside the merger... Firstly a simple internal restructure and secondly a restucture formalising and making closer ties with the IfA? Obviously details would need thrashed out and I reckon here's one of the best places to do it!!
Thoughts?
