Membership
ORGANISATION
The Institute’s affairs are run by a small Board of Directors which includes managers and leaders from some of the clubs, as well as Executives from the Route Organisation and partners. The Executive Director runs the day-to-day management of the Organisation including strategy, membership services and financial affairs and he is a point of contact for advice and information on a daily basis.
Members are encouraged to get involved and bring their expertise in helping plan the Institute’s policy and events not just for business affairs but also for occasional social functions where members can discuss future developments and the latest news.
EDUCATION
BICM organises an annual Conference which gives members the opportunity to attend sessions presented by leading club industry speakers and its one of the main functions on the club manager's calendar, providing time for networking, product up-dates and discussion in a relaxed professional environment. From time to time, BICM will hold seminars to deal with pressing issues and is proactive in responding to change in the market place.
LINKS
The Institute is establishing links with other leading professional bodies in the sports and leisure industry. BICM's Directors sit on the Sport Working Group of BISL (Business in Sport and Leisure), the major leisure industry lobbying group where the Institute's members' views are represented and are taken into account in decision making processes. The Institute is also a member of the Central Committee for Physical Recreation and Sports and Play Construction Association and has links with the Institute of Sport and Recreation Management. Contacts with Clubs Associations are being established through the Institute's partnership with the route Organisation.
