Nominations and Awards Group

The Committee Appointments Group (CAG) meets annually to:

  • review applications for all standing committees of Council, and recent graduate vacancies on Council, and make recommendations for appointment.
  • review applications for all standing committees of Board and make recommendations for appointment.
  • review proposals for Honorary Associates, Honorary Members and Life Members and advise Council accordingly.


In line with our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion policy, CAG carries out a blind assessment against a skills matrix for all applications for BVA committee vacancies.


Vacancies for Policy Committee, Ethics and Welfare Advisory Panel, Members Benefits and Events Committee, and Equality Diversity and Inclusion Advisory Group are advertised annually in June.
