#93 - BDA PEC Election Bulletin with Jimmy Pallahey and Hannah Woolnough

In this week’s bulletin episode, we welcome back former podcast guest Jimmy Palahey and current British Dental Association (BDA) English council chair Hannah Wodrough.

The pair are both standing as candidates in the BDA’s Principal Executive Committee (PEC) by-election. Hannah and Jimmy explain why they are standing and set out their vision for the committee. 

They also talk about why this year’s by-election could be one of the most significant in the BDA’s history.

To find out more about PEC candidates and read statements by each, visit www.bda.org/elections.

Enjoy! 

If you are a BDA member, you will have had the stuff through the post with everybody’s statements on it. If you've thrown out, you will still be able to read those on the website, and then you need to find somebody that shares your values who can fight your corner if you don't want to do it yourself.
