Officer and committee member elections and appointments
BCS officer and committee member roles are filled by a mixture of elections and appointments and are usually for a period of three years, enabling you to embed yourself fully into the role. For our presidential and vice-presidential roles, elections are held more than one year before the role starts, enabling an ‘elect’ period of a year so that the incoming candidate can get a feel for the role and receive a full handover.
