Can you help develop the BCLA?
2 February 2012
The British Contact Lens Association (BCLA) is seeking new Council members to help shape the future of the organisation.
Nominations are now invited for new members to join the Council at the Association’s 2012 AGM, to be held at 6pm at the ICC Birmingham on Friday 25 May.
There are vacancies for two lay members – one with legal expertise and one with financial expertise. These positions are open to non-members outside the profession. Additionally, the BCLA is seeking to welcome onto the Council: two contact lens opticians, one optometrist, one medical representative and one technical representative.
Council members offer guidance on education and professional and industry developments, for the long-term benefit of BCLA members. The Council meets five times during the year, including one offsite strategy meeting.
BCLA President, Shelly Bansal, said: “The BCLA relies on its Council members to help it promote excellence in contact lenses, and grow BCLA membership among all disciplines. If you think you can help develop the Association, then why not stand for election to the BCLA Council?”
For more information, please contact BCLA Secretary General, Vivien Freeman, on 020 7580 6661 or email vfreeman@bcla.org.uk. The closing date for nominations is 1 March 2012.
