BMC PRESIDENT (VOLUNTARY POSITION)
The BMC is inviting applications from its membership, for candidates to be presented to the members at the 2024 AGM, for election as BMC President.
The President is the members’ champion, and their role is to act as a conduit and sounding board for the membership, ensuring the views of individual and club members are fed into the BMC’s strategic planning and policy-making processes to improve the efficiencies of day-to-day operations.
The President is an ex-officio Director of the BMC, who, alongside the Council Nominated Directors, plays a key role in ensuring that the Board of Directors operates in accordance with the wishes and priorities of the membership.
The successful candidate will require the necessary skills and understanding to comply with their legal duties as a Director, whilst balancing the needs of the role of President in terms of representing members views and transparency in communication to the members.
The closing date for applications is Tuesday 30 April 2024 at 9.00 am. To submit your expression of interest please include the following:
1. A 500-word statement about your interest, relevant experience, and motivation for the role.

NOMINATED DIRECTOR (VOLUNTARY POSITION)
To balance the composition and skills of our Board, the BMC is now inviting applications for one Director from its membership, during a period when the organisation is reasserting its role as a body representing mountaineers (hill walkers, rock climbers, mountaineers and indoor climbers) whilst rapidly developing its role as the National Governing Body for competition climbing and ski mountaineering.
We are specifically searching for a member who possesses excellent marketing skills, who has a good understanding of membership organisations and competitive sport, ideally Sport Climbing.
This position will appeal to those who recognise the well-being benefits of active participation in outdoor activities and who share our care and concern for the natural environment. It provides an opportunity to gain satisfaction from contributing to decision-making and scrutiny at a time when the BMC is seeking to grow its membership and enhance its services whilst championing the environment in the context of increased outdoor participation.

BMC Volunteer opportunities:
Area Volunteers wanted
Area volunteers undertake vital roles in the democratic structure of the BMC and the work we do on behalf of members and the wider climbing, hill walking and mountaineering community. Each of the ten BMC Areas (eight in England, two in Wales) holds an Area AGM, at which elections for a range of volunteer roles are held, and outside of these meetings, members can be co-opted into roles.
Currently, we have a number of vacant roles; for more information, see Volunteer Opportunities in your BMC Area
