Conveners

The Role of Convener

Groups are the cornerstone of our u3a community – they are what keep us active and engaged. To make these groups a success, we rely on members to step up as Conveners. You just need to ensure the group operates efficiently. In fact, some groups have multiple Conveners, making the responsibilities easier to manage.

We encourage all members to consider becoming a Convener, and to suggest new group ideas. Our Groups Coordinator is always here to help, and can guide you through the process. Simply reach out to them for more information.

Group Web Pages

Each Group has its own dedicated page on our website, managed by the Convener. Here you can showcase what your Group is all about, including meeting information, contact details, and more.

Groups that hold regular or ad hoc meetings or events are easily able to create them.  If you want to add photos or other links please contact webmaster@monmouthu3a.com.

Our website serves as the gateway for new members to discover and join our u3a, so keeping your Group page informative and engaging can attract even more members.

If you need help updating your group web page, we offer face-to-face training, step-by-step guides and video walk-throughs. Please contact webmaster@monmouthu3a.com if you need help.
