We are keen to see nominations from candidates with a strong sense of ethic and a desire to contribute who may not see themselves currently represented in the volunteer structure of BCS.

We would welcome nominations equally, regardless of race, sex, gender, sexual orientation, age or religious belief as well as receiving nominations from (but not limited to) women, ethnic minority groups, people with disabilities, underrepresented communities, the LGBTQ+ community and neurodiverse people.
