Aims and Objectives

The Aims and Objectives (previously referred to as Aims and Objects) are the guiding principles for every Table, Association, and RTI itself.

At the start of every formal meeting, be it the Business Meeting of a Table, National Association AGM, or RTI event, the respective Aims and Objectives are read out.

The chairman of the meeting asks all the attendees to “be upstanding”, and asks one of those present to read the Aims and Objectives. In this regard, it is customary to ask the youngest attendee, the newest member or a special guest to read.
