DEVELOPMENT OFFICER

The Development Officer takes responsibility for overseeing the development of student sailing through BUSA. This role is a development role, with a view to grow the BUSA provision of student sailing, through both training opportunities and membership consultation. The last two years have seen a huge amount of growth in this area of BUSA due to two highly motivated proactive individuals being in the post. If you are willing to put time into making this role what you want it to be, it could be the most rewarding job on the committee and you could see changes you have wanted to see happen previously occur in real time.
