The Council is the voice of members within England to the PEC, and members of England Council are an essential link between BDA members and the PEC.

Our priorities

  • Discuss matters of common interest across England
  • Receive regular updates on membership and finances, and briefings on the PEC’s strategic and operational plans
  • Holding the PEC to account.

Get involved and get in touch

The Council meets around three times a year and there are many advantages to getting involved. You can actively influence BDA policymaking, represent your colleagues' voices, and develop your leadership skills.

The Council has distinct seats to represent different branches and sections across England and these are made for a three-year period at the start of the triennium process. The next triennium election process will be held in 2024. If there are vacant seats for areas of England where you work and you would like to stand as a Council member, contact the secretariat for further details.
