Checking in with delegates project – Bev Gibbons

Another colleague we would like to introduce in the #checkinginwithdelegates project is Bev Gibbons from the UK. What does she have to say about her role and experience as a delegate in EATA?

What do you appreciate about your role as delegate in EATA?

In my role as delegate, I greatly appreciate the opportunity to represent my country at the international level and to represent EATA at the national level.
I appreciate my exposure to the national culture and professional requirements of my delegate colleagues, as understanding these and integrating them into the work of EATA is part of my role.
I very much enjoy my role as a member of PTSC, in which I have the opportunity to be involved in an ongoing process of evolution in response to and collaboration with committee colleagues and EATA membership.

What do you appreciate about working as a delegate for EATA?

I appreciate the opportunity to get an inside view to the way EATA works, the challenges it faces as an organisation and to be part of a process that continually looks for opportunities for growth, greater inclusivity and ecological mindedness in collaboration with colleagues and the wider membership.

I appreciate cross committee working, particularly between PTSC ,of which I am a member, and COC. This relationship is a great strength for EATA, I think.

We appreciate her insights and look forward to introducing another EATA delegate soon.
