Help shape the future of healthcare business intelligence
Joining the BHBIA Board of Directors is an
opportunity to make a real impact on our industry, our community, and the
future of healthcare business intelligence in the UK. We are looking for engaged, committed members
who want to contribute their expertise, energy and perspective, and who are
ready to play an active role in shaping and delivering the BHBIA’s strategy and
development. If you care about the future of our industry,
value collaboration, and want to help shape what comes next, this is your chance to get involved.
Why join the BHBIA Board?
Joining the Board is a meaningful way to influence the future of healthcare business intelligence while developing your own leadership capabilities and professional network. As a Board member, you will:
- Help shape the strategic direction of the BHBIA
- Influence industry standards, including ethics & compliance, analytics, professional development, DE&I and sustainability
- Support the next generation of BI professionals through learning and development initiatives
- Build strong, cross-industry relationships with senior client- and agency-side leaders
- Gain valuable board-level and governance experience
- Play an active role in strengthening a respected, member-led professional association
Above all, it’s a chance to give back to
the community while helping it evolve.
What the Board does
The BHBIA Board is responsible for the strategic oversight, governance and long-term sustainability of the Association. Working together, Board members:
- Set strategic priorities and approve key initiatives
- Provide oversight of finances, governance and compliance
- Support and guide BHBIA committees and working groups
- Ensure the Association continues to deliver value for members
The Board works closely with the BHBIA
administrators and officers, who
manage day-to-day operations, member engagement, communications, events and professional development programmes.
What’s involved?
The BHBIA is a working Board. All Board members have full-time roles elsewhere, but are supported by their organisations to commit time and energy to BHBIA work alongside their day jobs. In summary, Board members:
- Attend and actively contribute to monthly Board meetings
- Play an active role at BHBIA events, including the Annual Conference, Insight Exchange and virtual events
- Contribute beyond the Board table, taking ownership of one or more areas of responsibility
- Act as ambassadors for the BHBIA and its members
- Share responsibility for the governance, strategy and sustainability of the Association
