Member referral volunteer's toolkit

Delivering trusted tech takes a trusted professional network… so who do you know outside of BCS whose technical talent is matched by their professional integrity? And isn’t it time you told them about BCS membership? 

By bringing other members on board BCS, you’re not just helping to grow our community, you’re playing an important role in growing confidence in our sector. As AI adoption accelerates, cyberthreats get ever more sophisticated and public trust hits an all-time low, the BCS community is rallying ethical accountable professionals to steer our digital society into a safer, brighter future.   

How do you recommend someone for BCS membership?

Below are some assets we hope you'll find useful in referring other trusted tech professionals to BCS membership at your events. Or you can simply send a message directly to someone you know. If your contact(s) get in touch, we’ll be asking them who it was that recommended them (name and email or branch/SG you're part of) so we’re able to let you know if they join up. Once they become a BCS Professional or Fellow member, we’ll also send you details of how to access a free CPD course* as a thank you. The new member will get access to one too!

*You’ll receive access to one CPD course of your choosing worth £30 +VAT only, not per person you refer. We’ll be in touch with details on how to access your free CPD once we’ve confirmed the person you’ve referred has become a BCS Professional or Fellow member. The free CPD course is not applicable if the individual you refer becomes an Affiliate, Associate or Student member.
