Retail Chapter

At an SEA Advisory meeting in early 2024, schools’ retail representatives joined the SEA meeting to discuss the specific needs of retail operations in schools. As a result of this meeting, the SEA agreed to submit a proposal to the Retail Forum, recommending that the SEA establish an SEA Retail Chapter, inviting the members of the Retail Forum and members of the SEA to join this specialist chapter of the SEA. 

At a meeting of the SEA Membership Committee on 28 May 2024, the Committee agreed to accept the proposal to establish the SEA Retail Chapter and to launch this chapter to coincide with the renewals of subscriptions in September 2024. 

Please read on for further information and how to join.
