Would You Like To Become More Involved With
The Society?
|
| The Council periodically undertakes projects or initiatives aimed at
enhancing the service the Society provides to its members. In some of
these areas, an additional pair of hands- especially if linked to e.g.
IT, writing or marketing skills - can be invaluable. |
| If you'd like to play a more active role in supporting the Council
and the Society on an occasional or ongoing basis, do let us know by
registering your interest with the SBE secretariat at admin@sbe.co.uk
(and don't forget to flag any skills, experience or interests that you
think may be helpful). We'll then contact you as and when suitable
projects come up, to offer you the opportunity of becoming involved.
