As a Branch we really need additional help. There is a real need to regalvanise the West Midlands BABCP Branch as its organisation has dwindled to just John Brookes and myself. As there are such a large number of CBT clinicians in the area more than ever we need to build this branch more strongly.

In accordance with the BABCP guidelines there are a number of important roles needed to have a really healthy branch
Chair/President
Deputy Chair
Secretary
Treasurer
Recruitment Officer & Membership representative
Branch Liaison Officer
Publicity Liaison
Social Co-ordinator
Evaluation Co-ordinator

So if anybody is willing to help out and participate, even in some small way, then this will be great. I will expand on each of the roles.

We have speakers booked for the Spring & Summer terms  but we really need names for evening workshops for the academic year 2009/2010. So all offers and names greatly received.
