Building for your future - a microsite to show how your Institute is changing and how we want you to benefit fully

Dear Member

Your vote is needed to make sure BCS continues its vision to become a world-leading organisation for IT. The Institute is being led in the direction you, as a member, have told us you want to go.

You have told us that you want help with your career and development of the profession, giving you recognition and influence in a rapidly changing society that depends on IT. That vision is being challenged by a call for an EGM to vote against this direction.

Our professional members have a very important decision to make which will have a profound impact on the future of BCS...

Elizabeth Sparrow, BCS President

Vote for the future

Society and the technology that drives it changes quickly. So to really enable the information society the Institute recognised it needed to move and change faster than ever.
