StructureThe Association’s affairs are run by an Executive Committee, elected for three-year terms (with a limited possibility of re-election) by the Association’s individual members at the Association’s AGM. (There is a provision in the Constitution for the Committee to introduce postal voting for this election.) To ensure an appropriate spread of representation, the Committee itself may co-opt up to four additional members to its number. The Committee elects its own Officers – Chair, Vice Chair, Secretary and Treasurer – who also serve as the Officers of the Association. The Committee will organise conferences for its membership, and take up issues of interest and concern to the profession, making submissions to appropriate bodies or individuals within higher education or beyond (including, as and when necessary, politicians or government departments). The Committee meets formally six times per year, including the AGM which coincides with the BESA Conference each year and which is attended by elected and non-elected members of the organisation. The Association intends to seek charitable status in the future. For fuller details of the BESA's structure, see the Association's Constitution on the website.
