SYNOPSIS
This convention is an opportunity to understand how the Member Groups Community is pivotal to supporting and implementing the aims of the BCS Royal Charter.
The day will begin with talks from leading members in BCS governance, discussing what drives them as a volunteers and the role they see members playing in helping to benefit the profession and wider society. This will be followed by workshops aimed at developing a community volunteer manifesto and identifying the the activities which sit within it.
