New Roles

Nationally Elected Councillors 
Constituency Councillors

The National Council is the representative body for the BMC’s members. It has spent the past two years reviewing how to be more representative and as such is expanding the members’ voice through the creation of six new councillor positions.  These new councillors will champion their areas, and work with the Council, BMC committees and other volunteers to ensure that the BMC remains the “representative body for the sport and recreation of Mountaineering”. 

Four volunteers are sought as Nationally Elected Councillors (NECs) to represent members in each of the key participation activities of rock climbing, hill walking, mountaineering and indoor climbing. Two further volunteer Councillors are sought to represent Mountain Training candidates and members of BMC affiliated Clubs.
