BTO LIKELY TO ANNOUNCE ITS NEW PRESIDENT FOLLOWING MARCH BOARD MEETING

A SUCCESSOR to Chris Packham as president of the BTO will probably be announced in March.

After completing his five years in the post, Chris decided, with the agreement of the BTO, that it would be best not to seek another term because of pressure of his broadcasting and other commitments.

Because the presidency is an ambassadorial role rather than a trusteeship/directorship, it is subject to selection and appointment by the BTO board rather than election at the annual meeting.

The BTO says it already has a shortlist of potential candidates, though there is nothing to prevent members submitting further names for consideration.

Says the trust:"Assuming the board takes a decision in March, an announcement will follow shortly afterwards."
