In addition to the digital events, NLA is also establishing a new series of Expert Panels, bringing together key industry experts from across the NLA membership to advise on our core programmes, their rigour and their relevance.
Meeting throughout the year, these multi-disciplinary expert groups will convene on key issues from the design and delivery of housing, to the role of the built environment in improving mental health and wellbeing, to enhancing technical competency. They will act as advisory groups for the NLA, sharing intelligence, and ensuring that our programmes respond even more closely to the key issues identified by the industry and our membership. Our Panels will meet virtually over the next few months, with reports from each meeting shared with our membership.
