The two nominated national Delegates per country play a central role in the operation of EBCC. Their role is to advance the agreed aims of EBCC as best they can in a professional and progressive fashion within budget and other constraints, and as guided by the Board. In brief, the role of the Delegate is to further the aims of the EBCC both at a national and international level by representing national views and communicating them to the Board, disseminating relevant EBCC news and information within countries, and engaging actively in EBCC initiatives.
At the same time as Delegates are expected to contribute in various ways, the idea is of course, that the Delegates and the countries they represent should benefit from sharing ideas and knowledge with like-minded experts from other European countries.
Guidelines for selecting and appointing new Delegates are defined within the Articles of Association, as are procedures for replacing those who wish to stand down and those Delegates who are not able to engage actively with EBCC.
Delegates are encouraged to cooperate actively with the work of EBCC in some of the following ways:
In those circumstances where existing Delegates are unable to engage with the work of the EBCC in the ways described above (for whatever reason), then the Board would seek to find suitable replacements in discussion and agreement with relevant national contacts.
