At the 2019 Annual General Meeting (9th June) the decision was taken to remove the Publications and Information Standing Committee and instead replace it with a single Publications and Information Officer position. The following is an interim description which is pending review by BCA Council and approval at a General Meeting.
The Publications and Information (P&I) Officer will be responsible for ensuring that all BCA publications are accurate and compliant with BCA branding and policies. The P&I Officer will also be responsible for promoting the BCA both to its members and the wider population. The facets covered by the P&I Officer include:
It is expected that the P&I Officer will appoint and instruct the necessary people to assist in these various facets, including but not limited to a Webmaster, Media Liaison Officer, Newsletter Editor and any others they feel necessary, to be appointed annually (typically at the first Council meeting after each AGM) as co-opted non-voting positions on BCA Council.
The P&I Officer is elected and holds a vote in the same way as the chair of a Standing Committee, as defined in the constitution.
