- Setting the agenda for such meetings
- Calling up meetings in conjunction with the BUCS Head of Competitions & Performance
- Reporting the Group’s activity to the wider membership
- Representing the Group at the Senior Manager Executive Meetings
The term of the initial appointment will run through to July 2021, when the BUCS Strategy 2017-21 will expire. However, it is expected appointees will be given the opportunity to continue sitting on the group to continue work on the BUCS Strategy 2021-25.
