BASEM & FSEM: What a new organisation could mean for you
On 31 March, BASEM and FSEM circulated the ‘Outcome Report’ from our consultation exercise looking at the future of the two organisations and how we might best work together to further the SEM agenda in the UK. We particularly considered the potential for dissolving both organisations and re-forming as a College of SEM.
Deciding whether to reform as a new organisation or remain as separate but closely collaborating organisations is an important decision for our members, here’s some additional information to the Outcome Document that will help you make an informed vote on Thursday 18th May.
