A BITA Expansion
COMING TO A PLACE NEAR YOU
In September, BITA opened their newest chapter in Leeds (see page 24), however they won’t be our newest chapter for long!
We have been growing consistently over the last few years, and we not only have chapters across the UK and Ireland, we have a relationship with Causeway Exchange, covering Scotland and Northern Ireland, INUSA that operates across 27 states in the US, and the German Irish Embassy that has a global presence. In addition, we now have members and collaborators in Australia and Poland. We want our members to capitalise on what these relationships offer, so if you want to know more, please contact head office!
This growth looks set to continue, as over the last few months, we have been contacted by more businesses wanting to talk about opening additional BITA chapters.
We are thrilled to announce that we will, in 2021, be launching new chapters in Brighton, Maidstone, Wales and Galway. These chapters will mean we have a wider reach across the British Isles and will be able to offer a ‘home chapter’ that is more convenient to many of our members.
It will also mean that we’ll be able to reach more businesses and increase our membership – providing more opportunities for everyone.
These additional chapters mean that we will be busier than ever in 2021, hosting a wide range of exciting events across the UK and Ireland. All events and updates will be posted on our website, make sure you are up to date, so you don’t miss out! If you would like to get involved in being a board member, or want to discuss founding an additional chapter, please contact Paul Whitnell.
