Our Generation BTA Board Chair comments:
"As Chair, my priority is ensuring Generation BTA remains relevant, representative and forward thinking.
Expanding the community is central to that aim by bringing challenge, innovation and fresh perspective to how we support and advocate for early-career professionals.
