Membership.

WISH has two types of members:

  • Full members – constituent organisations which represent sectors of the industry
  • Affiliate members – individual organisations such as companies and local authorities

A list of full and affiliate members is available.  A full definition of membership is included in the WISH Constitution.

From the full membership, a ‘WISH Steering Group’ is drawn to conduct the routine business of WISH, and ensure progress is made on the WISH Strategy and blueprints.

The current WISH Steering Group is presented below.
