Dear BCIS members,

I am delighted to announce the successful appointment of Dr Suneil Aggarwal to BCIS Communications lead post. Suneil has extensive prior experience on BCIS council and will work closely with Dr Sukh Nijjer until he takes over the role.

There were two excellent applicants for this post, and on behalf of Council, I would like to congratulate Suneil.

With all best wishes,

Gerald Clesham

Dear BCIS members,

I am delighted to announce the successful election of Jonathan Byrne and Abhishek Kumar to Council as Members without Portfolio. This was a large and outstanding field of candidates, and, on behalf of Council, I would like to congratulate Jon and Abhi on their successful appointments and thank all the applicants for their interest in BCIS.

Both posts will run for a 3-year term and replace Rasha Al Lamee and Peter O’Kane who step down in January. On behalf of the whole BCIS membership, I’d like to thank them both for their work and commitment over the last few years.

I would also like to thank the membership for taking such an active interest in the business of the society – it is only with this support that we can continue to develop the Society, and truly reflect the interests of its members.

With all best wishes,

Clare
