MDF Committee Members

Mercian Disability Forum Committee membership is open to library staff from Mercian Collaboration member institutions, as supported by their respective Directors. The MDF Committee currently comprises a Chair, and institutional representatives, with the Mercian Development Officer representing the Steering Group and Directors as an ex officio member. The Chair reports and is responsible to the Mercian Directors and Steering Group.

As the MDF develops, it is anticipated the MDF will bring their internal governance and officer structures in line with the Mercian Collaboration's expectations, with respect to officer posts, elections and term limits. The current group chair is Laura Waller.
