Tony Lennon re-elected Bectu President

Bectu President Tony Lennon has been re-elected in a ballot of members.
The result of the both the President and NEC (National Executive Committee) ballots were announced on May 8 at this year's Bectu Annual Conference.
In Bectu's second direct election of President, Tony Lennon won 3443 votes compared to the only other candidate, Tudor Gates, who received 1791.
There were also ballots in the London Production Division, and the BBC Division, for seats on the NEC. All ballots were conducted postally by Electoral Reform Services.
No elections were necessary in the Arts and Entertainment, Independent Broadcasting, Laboratories, and Regional Production Divisions because the number of nominations did not exceed the number of NEC seats available.
Following the election the new NEC, which meets for the first time on 23 May, comprises: Arts & Entertainment: Suresh Chalwa, Lou George, Douglas McGill; BBC: Pete Harding, Andy Love, Jane Perry, Winston Phillips; Independent Broadcasting: John Handley, Robert Scott; Laboratories: John Searle/John Wild (jobshare); London Production: Peter Cox, Tudor Gates, Mary Hillman, Annabelle MacKenzie; And Regional Production: Christine Bond, Lawrence Van Reiss.
