Each position corresponds to one of the BPS Member Network committees. Role holders will sit on the PsyPAG committee.

The general committee meets 4 times a year. Meetings will alternate be in-person and virtual, however, a virtual attendance option will be available where meetings will be in-person. Role holders may also be invited to be part of the BPS Member Network committee, and to attend that committee's meetings. The frequency of these varies across networks. Travel expenses to attend in-person meetings can be reclaimed.

All positions are for a 2-year appointment. Role holders are expected to attend meetings; take an active role on one of the PsyPAG sub-committees, such as judging the annual awards; and to submit one article to the Quarterly Journal during their tenure.
