Welcome to IoD Oxfordshire

IoD Oxfordshire Committee
Your local branch has a good degree of autonomy and the committee is made up of ten volunteer members, representing different business sectors across Oxfordshire.  We're usually present at local events and are always available for you to contact should you have any questions.  Please let us know if you think you might like to get involved with any one of the seven committee subgroups: public relations and marketing, membership and engagement, events, policy, education, finance and sponsorship / fundraising.
