Guidelines for guests attending meetings of the Institute
of Master Tutors of Driving
Invitation
You have been invited to attend a meeting of the IMTD as a
guest because the member inviting believes you are a person who has the
qualities, experience and knowledge that will potentially enable you to benefit
from membership of the institute and that you will also be able to contribute to
the aims of the Institute.
History
The Institute of Master Tutors of Driving (IMTD) was
founded as a non-profit making independent organisation in 1957. Its aim was to
create an elite group of professional driving instructors in the UK. The members
were to be principals and managers of reputable driving schools whose entry was
to be determined by their integrity, experience, qualifications and professional
ability.
Membership
The members are past or present driver trainers and others
who are or who have been engaged in an activity akin or related to driving
instruction. Many members are or have been officers of local and national driver
trainer organisations though they give their own views at the Institute's
meetings.
Dress Convention
The Institute does not enforce a dress code however;
visitors may feel uncomfortable if they do not conform to the usual conventions
of members at meetings. Most gentlemen wear shirts, ties and jackets, ladies
similar daywear. Members do not wear denim or sports clothing for meetings.
Meeting Convention
Meetings are run by the chairman of the Institute whose
decision on all matters is final. Those present may only speak when invited to
do so by the chairman. If you wish to speak you should attract the attention of
the chairman who may or may not decide to ask you to speak. As a guest you are
not invited to vote on any matters put to the meeting.
Reporting Convention
The purpose of Institute meetings is to allow people to
speak as individuals, and to express views that may not necessarily be those of
the organisations of which they are members, officers, employees or past
employees. Therefore comments made at IMTD meetings can be shared verbally but
not attributed to any particular person or organisation. Details of business
transacted and debates held at meetings should not be shared with non-members.
The only true record of a meeting shall be the secretary’s minute of the meeting
approved by the following meeting.
Your Choice
If you do not wish to accept these guidelines please
decline the invitation you have received. Attendance at a meeting will be taken
that, as an honourable person, you accept and agree to abide by these
guidelines.
