We are seeking nominations and inviting applications from members to stand for election for the position of ABCD Honorary Meetings Secretary.
What’s involved?
The meetings secretary is a critical role in the organisation with responsibility for delivering the educational programme for digital and in-person events and the lifelong learning programme for ABCD members from SpRs to Consultant and beyond.
The meeting secretary is part of the executive committee which meets regularly (at least 6 times a year either held in person or virtually). In addition there are two full committee meetings each year which you would need to attend and chair and prepare for by preparing/reading the papers circulated in advance as well as supporting the Diabetes Care Trust.
What do I gain?
If you are successful in being elected to the executive committee you will be able to influence the future decisions of ABCD and get involved in planning all aspects of the ABCD business. It is a great developmental opportunity to learn how the organisation operates at a senior, strategic level and to understand more about the behind-the-scenes operational planning and project management.
You will meet new colleagues who share your passion on the management of diabetes and will have the opportunity to represent ABCD at a senior level, meeting well respected and senior professionals from other Charities / Societies and the pharmaceutical industry. There is no better way to establish rapport and work with other key stakeholders at a senior level– whether with policy makers, industry or within ABCD.
Most importantly, you will have the satisfaction of knowing you are making a real difference to ABCD, it’s members and to the care available to people with diabetes.
The application deadline is 31st December 2025
