-**Publications & Information Committee**
+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.
-**Convenor:** Les Williams //(due for re-election in June 2014)//
+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:
-**Membership:** Representatives from each of the [[http://british-caving.org.uk/?page=131|Constituent Bodies]] and [[http://www.british-caving.org.uk/?page=88|Regional Councils]] as well as the Handbook & Newsletter Editors and the Webmaster.
+  * Website
+  * Social media
+  * Publicity
+  * Promotion and marketing
+  * Publications
+  * Media liaison
+  * News
-**Meetings:** Meets as required, usually prior to Council Meetings, arranged by Convenor.
+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.
-**Minutes circulated to:** BCA Secretary, who then forwards to Council Members plus anyone else who may have an interest. Minutes are also then uploaded to the [[http://www.british-caving.org.uk/?page=20|P&I section]] of the BCA website.
+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.
-**Reports:** Quarterly at BCA Council, and annually at Annual General Meeting.
-**Remit:** //to be completed//
