Building Communities Committee
Reporting to Advisory Council, the Building Communities Committee is primarily responsible for overseeing the delivery of strategic objective one as written in the Society strategy:
Through a better understanding of the diversity of our members, we will enable them to strengthen their existing relationships and gain access to new communities, unlocking the potential for international collaboration and global knowledge exchange.
This involves driving content themes for events, journals and other activities as well as providing advice and expertise to Advisory Council. The Scientific Conferences Panel and Publishing Panel both report to the Building Communities Committee and are each chaired by one of the Committee co-Chairs.
The Committee membership includes representatives from each of the Society’s Divisions and Editorial Boards as a means of supporting cohesion across the Society’s programme of activities.
