Monday 3rd February
Last week we held the first Board meeting of 2025. As well as updating all Board Directors on what has happened over the last few months we held an objective setting session for all portfolios in the afternoon. Each Board Director now has at least three priorities set for 2025 to ensure the momentum is kept throughout the year. For some, we will be looking for new committee members, so there are opportunities for you to volunteer and become involved in the work we do to support the profession.
We are also in the process of updating our website, so each Board portfolio will have a section where you can go and see what work is ongoing. Whilst we transition to the new style website, we will be featuring different portfolios and their objectives in Horizons. By sharing what the Board is up to more widely I hope you will get to see the scale of the behind the scenes work everyone is involved in on your behalf. These profiles will start to appear over the morning weeks. Please do get in touch if you would like to volunteer on a committee or feel we are missing anything in our plans.
After much careful consideration at our Board meeting, we have made the decision to increase our membership fees for the first time in 14 years. This change will come into effect on 1st April.
Why are we making this change?
Over the past decade-plus, we’ve worked hard to keep our membership fees stable, despite significant rises in operational costs and materials. Unfortunately, after absorbing these increases for as long as we could and relying on conference keeping us solvent, it’s no longer sustainable for us to maintain the same fee structure.
The new membership fees will allow us to continue offering the high-quality services and experiences you’ve come to expect. This adjustment will also ensure we can invest in further improvements and exciting new developments for our community in the coming years.
I will write to you individually to explain more and how you will ultimately benefit from the small uplift.
As ever, you can contact me or any of our board directors here: admin@baaudiology.org
Take care
Claire
