There are fifteen members on the PEC. Each will have a fair share of overall responsibilities, and typically this will require:

  • Attendance at all meetings of the PEC – around five a year, but maybe more when business demands

  • Attendance at own country council meetings – usually three a year

  • Attendance at UK Council meetings – around two a year

  • Sit on 1–2 sub committees/issue specific forums

  • Attend general meetings of the Association.

It is anticipated that the approximate time commitment for a member of the PEC will be 20 days per year, with an annual remuneration of £15,000.

Term of office

This shall be until December 2018, with the entitlement to stand for a further full three-year term of office at that point.

Induction, support and training

Membership of the PEC carries significant organisational and legal responsibilities. There is an induction programme for those elected, and ongoing training. Members will also have advice and support from the Chief Executive and the wider BDA Team.

Next meetings of the PEC

Meetings of the PEC in 2016 are: 24 February, 5 May, 6 July, 28 September and 30 November.
