If you're attending the LGA Annual Conference & Exhibition next month in Bournemouth, why not visit the Regional Improvement and Efficiency Partnership's (RIEPs) stand - ref no: P54.

At the stand you will find a range information from all nine RIEPs, and most importantly, have the opportunity to talk to staff about how your authority can start to engage with us.

We will be displaying our newly published Annual Report 2009-10 and a DVD containing inspirational video case studies about how local authorities in the East Midlands are reaping the benefit of engaging with EM IEP and the improvement and efficiency savings they have made as a direct result.

RIEPS are also hosting a workshop called "Top tips for elected members - protecting the frontline" (W14), please join us for some healthy discussion!

The Local Government Association Group Conference is taking place in Bournemouth from 6th - 8th July 2010 and themed 'Changing times, changing minds.
