Evolving the Partnership focuses on three overarching themes of Volunteer Engagement, LI Visibility and LI Proposition Development. All the projects, processes and protocol the regional team work on will feed into one of these three themes.
Volunteer Engagement: Thematic Group Meetings / Digital Town Halls
The first round of Digital Town Halls for volunteers will be taking place in May. The four events give Matthew Hill, CEO, CII the opportunity to update on the CIIs strategic objectives and provides a platform for Local Institute council members to voice any comments or concerns they may have on behalf of their councils. The regional membership has now communicated dates out to the network promoting the first three thematic group meetings of 2025 covering the following topics – CII Futures, The New Gen programme, and The Insurance Charity.
Insurance Charities - 29th April at 11am
CII Futures - 29th April at 2pm

Volunteer Engagement: NC2025
This year’s volunteer conference – NC2025, will be taking place at Cameron House, Loch Lomond, Scotland on 18th and 19th June. Formal invites have now been released to all Local Institutes. If you have yet to discuss who will be representing your institute, then please discuss as a council – we are recommending your Deputy President attend as well as a council member who has never attended the conference before.
Volunteer Engagement: Local Institute Review and Development Plans 2025
The Regional Membership Managers are currently meeting with each of the 52 Local Institutes to complete the annual Local Institute review and development plans. These plans are due to be completed with each institute by the end of June 2025.
LI Visibility: Local Institute Podcast – ‘local matters’
The regional membership team launched their quarterly podcast – local matters – in March 2025. Three Local Institute volunteers were interviewed by Matt Ward (RMM) providing updates on the local institute network and the benefit of volunteering. The podcast can be listened to here.
LI Visibility: Join our council campaign
The benefits of joining a Local Institute council as a volunteer was promoted in The Journal, within the Local Institute podcast and on Local Institute websites.
LI Proposition Development: CPD support
The Regional Membership Team is working with the Contents & Capabilities Director as part of a CPD optimisation initiative, to ensure Local Institute members benefit from a smarter and more consistent approach to delivering CPD.
LI Proposition Development: Careers support
