Following the 2019 BUSA AGM held at the BUCS Yachting Championship on the 16th of April, the new BUSA Committee for 2019-20 has been announced.
This year sees a restructure of the committee, with new roles added and some removed. It is hoped that this will help to clarify responsibilities and help push BUSA towards some of the strategic outcomes identified through the 2018-19 Sailor Survey and focus group.
Many of the roles were contested this year, and the committee would like to thank all those that put themselves forward.
The 2019-20 BUSA Committee is as follows:
- Chair – Karen Thomas (Cambridge)
- Vice Chair – Abby West (Loughborough)
