Corporate membership
The BMVA has a Corporate Membership Scheme to allow industry better
access to research being conducted by the UK vision community. The
scheme works as follows:
-
Any employee wishing to participate in BMVA events must be in posession
of a Corporate Membership card and be able to prove that they are
employed by the Corporate Member.
-
Up to five employees of a Corporate Member can be named as BMVA voters.
(No proxy votes are allowed.)
-
Ten membership cards will be issued each year.
-
Each organisation will appoint a BMVA corporate administrator who will
be responsible for:
-
Providing the BMVA with a list of the voting affiliates
-
Distributing copies of BMVA News within his organisation
-
Arranging payment of the annual Corporate Membership fee
-
Monitoring the distribution of Corporate Membership cards within his
organisation
-
The cost of Corporate Membership per annum is 10 times the personal
membership fee (this is currently 10 x £20 = £200 per annum).
-
The definition of an "organisation" in this scheme is:
-
it must have less than 1000 employees;
-
it must be situated on one geographical site;
-
if it is part of a large corporation, it must be an independent business
unit.
The benefits for an organisation taking out BMVA Corporate Membership
are:
-
Up to 10 employees may attend any BMVA meeting or the annual Conference
at the personal membership rate
-
Voting rights in BMVA elections and at AGMs for up to 5 named affiliates
