Executive Committee, Chairs, Honorary Members
BALEAP is run by an executive committee whose members are volunteers drawn from and elected by the membership.
BALEAP wouldn't run without all its volunteers from the exec to working group members to SIG committee members and more.
We are indebted to the work everyone has done and continues to do for the BALEAP community. A special thanks go to previous members who we acknowledge here in this area.
