A National Organisation
What is our membership model?
Our membership model involves each of the 22 Local Authority area’s Older People’s Forum or Group appointing 2 voting members to be their representatives – a total of 44. The original proposal and written into COPA Constitution was to combine these into 6 Regional groups. The Welsh Government have since agreed that this is not a practical proposition.
All 44 Voting members will be eligible to attend national meetings and vote at the AGM.
Currently, there are 17 Forums represented, having between them 27 Voting Members.
