The Sustainable Future Working Party and the Working Party to develop a position statement on homosexuality have attracted a huge amount of interest and support. These initiatives are clearly considered as significant and exciting interventions.
Both working parties are now fully populated. We would like to thank our MIs and many individuals for the interest shown and are very much looking forward to seeing this important work progress over the coming months.
July 2010
This group will be looking at the large question of the future sustainability of the BPC (both as a corporate entity but also as a constituency). The working party will be taking a thoroughgoing and radical look at the future of the BPC and the relationships between it and its member institutions, as all are struggling with large strategic challenges over the years ahead.
