We also plan to offer insurance to schools and instructors for the first time. Our new insurer Sedgwicks has priced a package that looks very competitive. But first things first - developments abroad depend on what happens at home. Our next step is to set up permanent staff and resources. BSAC International needs full-time, senior management suitably experienced in the diving market and able to make prompt decisions.
Slow responses can be disastrous internationally.
The executive directors now being recruited will be selected for their thorough knowledge of BSAC training and for business, resource management and interpersonal skills. In return for competitive rates of pay they will submit to annual assessment against performance criteria set by the non-executive directors. Initially the positions will be offered among National Instructors. If we can't find suitable applicants among our members, we'll cast the net wider. Much depends on the quality of this particular catch.
