NOMINATION FORM FOR ELECTION TO COUNCIL

At BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT, we are dedicated to making IT good for society. As part of this mission, we uphold the highest professional standards across the IT industry. If you're passionate about upholding the integrity of the IT profession and are considering sharing your unique perspective and values this is an exciting opportunity to widen your network and influence the professional body for IT.

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. This may be in terms of the professional roles / sectors of those serving currently. 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.
