BCS Community Volunteers

January Newsletter

Welcome to the first community volunteers newsletter of the New Year. We all hope that 2022 brings the glimmer of hope of returning to normality with the prospect of getting together with friends and family for special occasions, evenings out and picnics in the summer. I hope that 2022 will also see us reuniting with our members at branch, specialist group and section events.

We also have a new opportunity to come together with the whole membership, the BCS Community, our new online discussion space exclusively for members. Go in with your MyBCS credentials and connect, network and share ideas. The BCS Community is going to help us come together on everything from organising events to tackling the big issues in the IT industry and relaying our BCS response to them.
