Community Board - New Year Message

Dear Volunteers,

I am emailing you on behalf of the Community Board to thank you all for your hard work and dedication in your various roles in the Member Group Community during 2018 and to wish you and your families a peaceful and enjoyable festive break.

At the fresh hold of a new year we are well-placed to start transforming the way we engage the BCS membership, IT professionals outside the Institute and the wider public.

​Replacement of Memorandums of Understanding

We have reviewed the usage and effectiveness of Memorandums of Understanding as applied to both corporate and member activities.

As MoUs are legally unenforceable and amount to nothing more than a letter of intent, we have taken the steps to remove them from use within BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT, BCS Learning & Development Ltd and within our constituent Member Groups and Sections.
