Graduate Discussion Group

Following the end of the recent membership survey a Membership Engagement Working Group has been established to look at all aspects of new graduate membership.  The group would like to invite our new graduate members to form a ‘New Graduate Discussion Group’ which would meet initially to discuss all aspects of BAPO membership incl. current/future benefits, how we can better support our new graduates, what could we do better etc.  BAPO would provide the platform to host your meeting and would then invite a number of your group to attend a meeting of the Membership Engagement Working Group to discuss your ideas & suggestions and how these might be implemented going forward.

Your input is important to us and will ensure we fully understand the issues faced by our new Graduates and how BAPO can help.  If you would like to help shape how BAPO support and engage with our New Graduates, please consider joining our New Graduate Discussion Group
