We’d like to congratulate the newest members of the BCS team on their election to post following the nomination stage of the annual process.
Each year, Ordinary and Affiliate members of the Society are able to nominate themselves for an available Executive or Committee position.
Elected members
Following this year’s process, the following members have been elected after we received their unopposed nominations. The posts have, therefore, been appointed to without election:

We look forward to officially welcoming them to their new roles at our 2026 AGM.
