BVA Council Review
The BVA proposes new council structure.

In 2008 the Board of Directors decided to review the structure of Council to ensure it was fulfilling its representational function. Over a period of 18 months the Board, members of the Council and the Council Review Group, worked together to develop a structure that would both make the Council more representative and provide every BVA member with a direct route to it.

The Board has now approved the changes to the Council structure, the most significant of which is the adoption of a regional structure for England. Subject to approval at the AGM the new Council will hold its first meeting in March 2011

The new Council will be made up 39 members. These will include: nine English regional representatives, one representative from Northern Ireland, one  representative from Scotland, one representative from Wales, fourteen specialist division representatives, three Past Presidents, the chairs of the five standing committees, two recent graduates and three Officers.

The next stage of the process is for changes to the Articles of Association  of the BVA to be drafted and a special resolution put to the Annual General Meeting in September 2010.

Until that time there will be ongoing communication with BVA members to ensure they are fully aware of the changes and the progress of their implementation.
