Regional Chapters
Carl Lindahl in Tartan
Since the re-launch of the BFSA in 2000 members have been allocated
a regional chapter based on their residency. The regions are:
Wales & West
London & South East
Each
activated chapter has a regional representative on the BFSA committee
who is the local liaison for BFSA members and current US grantees.
Chapters are organized locally by sub-committee and are involved in
developing and implementing educational and cultural exchange in their
area. They arrange events for alumni, scholars and their guests, and
create a network of BFSA members in the region for social and
professional association. They also contribute towards maintaining the
profile of the Fulbright Commission in their region.
Scottish & Northern Ireland Chapter
Members recently toured the new Scottish Parliament Building and held a ceilidh in Fettes College, Edinburgh, as part of the international Fulbright Centenary celebrations world-wide. The chapter also meets informally and plans a reception later this year to tie in with British Council's Fulbright Teacher's Exchange Programme visit to Edinburgh.
The Scotland and Northern Ireland chapter, together with the British Council, are hosting an evening reception at the US Consulate in Edinburgh on Thursday, 8 December 2005.
Midlands & the North Chapter
The home of this year's BFSA May concert. The concert and formal dinner were held at Browsholme Hall and featured internationally acclaimed Polish pianist Bartosz Barasinski. Bartosz is to play in the Midlands again on 5th August at St George's Hall, Preston, at noon.
