Regional groups provide a forum for members from a diverse range of organisations to meet and exchange views and experiences, build a mutually supportive local network and share best practice.

Non-members considering joining the IRM are very welcome to attend any group meeting to find out more but will be expected to join the Institute if attending on a regular basis. Members of partner organisations such as Alarm, AIRMIC and the Chartered Quality Institute are also welcome to attend for free (or on the same conditions as IRM members).
