The nomination committee is required to have 5-10 members who represent the range of award holders including those who have none. There should also be a lay member and Nick Gair, the CEO of ASGBI has fulfilled this role over the last few years.
The committee will meet virtually, unless required otherwise. It should report on its activities to the Executive and Council of the BTS through the chair or the Specialist Society Officer. These terms of reference shall be reviewed after three years or sooner if ACCEA requirements change.
