BACFI AGM
25th November 2020
Our AGM took place on MS Teams on 25th November. Ewen MacLeod, Director of Strategy and Policy at the Bar Standards Board updated us on various issues that the BSB have dealt with over the past year prior to the AGM business. These included Equality and Diversity strategies such as the reverse mentoring scheme (young barristers of ethnic origin mentoring older white barristers) and a report on income disparity along with the impact of the pandemic on pupillage numbers and the problems with the BPTC.
Alex Carr, Sonia Hayes, Stephen Potts, and Lorinda Long were re-elected to the committee and James Kitching was re-elected as Treasurer. Dan Byrne and Charlotte Pope-Williams who were co-opted to the committee in September were also elected and will serve a term of 2 years. We are also pleased to welcome Sara George as an elected committee member. The Chair’s report can be found HERE.
