The key committees have oversight responsibility for BINDT’s operations and the execution of the strategic plan, as shown in Figure 2. They report to BINDT’s Council (Trustees) and are, in some cases, empowered to make decisions on behalf of Council (for example membership and registration).

Membership of all groups is open to members (and in some cases non-members) at no additional charge. Group members benefit from discussion of current topics of interest or controversy and from the interchange of views between individuals all sharing a specific common interest. As a group, they can influence affairs that they couldn’t as individuals.
