Engagement Committee

The Engagement Committee focuses on membership engagement and retention strategies, and oversees the BNA journal as our primary publication. The committee also leads public engagement activities to strengthen the BNA’s presence and impact within the neuroscience community.

We're growing!

Following a vote at the 2025 Annual General Meeting, the structure and composition of our governing committees and groups are changing.

We'll soon be recruiting new people into various leadership positions - check back soon for more information.
