Registration and Standards Committee – new members

BCS Registration and Standards Committee wants to recruit two new members and is particularly interested in applications from members holding Engineering Council registration.

Are you employed (or recently employed) in a senior role with IT responsibilities in either the public or private sector? Could you contribute positively and challenge constructively to work with colleagues to carry out the Committee’s responsibilities?

Member Groups Review - including ‘Local Hubs’.

Having attended the last three conventions, I am very pleased that we are now firmly moving into this call to action phase.

Our “member groups review” working group is seeking proactive individuals that want to work together to suggest positive improvements in how member groups operate - creation, governance (rules), relevance, collaboration (within BCS and externally), innovation, onboarding new members, mentoring and promotion of good practice.

Communications Review

At the members’ convention earlier this year, a theme came out of BCS feedback relating to improvements in communications.  This included communications through the public website, as well as in mechanisms for communication between members within and across member groups.

Role Opportunity: Become a membership assessor

Membership Assessors

Assessors are critical to the success of BCS awarding professional registration and admitting individuals to the highest grade of membership.  The roles make use of your skills, experience and knowledge and support the next generation of IT professionals.  All BCS Assessors are Chartered members or Fellows of BCS.
 

We are looking to add to our pool of voluntary membership assessors.

BCS Experts Directory

The Policy and Community teams continue to invite submissions for the forthcoming BCS Experts Directory – a group of committed and responsive individuals we can call on to help promote the organisations’ insights and knowledge on a range of relevant topics, in a variety of ways.

Professionalism roundtable

“How can we create the expectation in society, government and business that all IT staff should be members of an accredited, professional body?”
