From Our Leaders:
Leading with BSES
Applications for 2011 expedition leader positions are now being accepted.
At the heart of all BSES expeditions is a skilled team of scientists, mountain leaders, tropical experts, instructors, career expeditioners, medics and youth workers. The Society benefits from a high return leadership, including Young Explorers who have progressed on to leadership roles and specialist leaders with diverse professional and expeditionary experience.
For each expedition, the Chief Leader and Operations Manager assemble a leader team covering the necessary technical skills for the region and the given expedition’s field projects. All leader positions are voluntary, which underpins an important aspect of the society’s expedition ethos. Please note that demand for expedition opportunities is presently very high. Positions will be filled on a competitive basis—applicants with strong and suitable qualifications will not necessarily be invited to a team.
