We have committees covering a range of issues and industry sectors. Each committee is comprised of representatives from BPF members and usually meets four times a year. We also run a number of working groups covering specific topics.
Scroll down for the list of committees and working groups.
Joining a Committee or Working Group
Our committees are only available to BPF members and may have a waiting list or application process to join. If you're interested in joining a committee, please email the committee secretariat noted below.
Many committees also welcome associate members who can sign up through MyBPF to receive papers, minutes and invitations to get involved in some of the committee’s work.
We have a goal to achieve a minimum 40% female representation on all committees, in line with our D&I policy.
