The AGM will, as normal, host your BDIA Council elections, and nominations are now welcome from any Full Member company representative for the three vacancies on the Council. This year we are particularly looking for representatives from the publishing and services sectors. Why not put your name forward to serve and help shape the future of the industry.

The Council meets, generally in person, at Mineral Lane around 5 times a year. Its role is to oversee the BDIA’s policy and objectives in line with the Association’s overall mission to advance the dental industry through ADVOCACY, COMMUNICATION, EDUCATION &

- Act to see that the BDIA influences organisations on important issues affecting the dental industry.
- Set up Committees or working groups if needed and appoint a Council representative to act as an advisor on each if required.
- Provide a social forum for members, thus encouraging participation and maximising attendance at all Association’s events and Committees.
- Investigate breaches of the Articles of Association or Code of Practice and to promote the industry’s freedom to self-regulate.
