Reporting to the BCIA President and Management Committee, the main purpose of the role is to manage the day to day running (including the financial and administrative activities) of the BCIA. The Executive Officer is responsible for ensuring the activities of the BCIA are conducted in accordance with its constitution, rules, policies and procedures and for reviewing these on a regular basis to ensure they are relevant and up to date.
