The General Committee comprises approximately 25 members and is organised into a number of smaller sub-groups (Professional Development, Media, and Schools & Universities) which are all overseen by the Management Group.• Professional Development - aims to help young tunnelling engineers to further develop their tunnelling knowledge by providing site visits, workshops and presentations• Schools & Universities - the group organises events for schools and universities to help introduce new and soon-to-be graduates to the world of tunnelling.• Media - promotes the tunnelling industry through various forms, allowing young members to keep up to date with the latest news, events and socials.Each sub-group consists of a Sub-Group Chair and 4 members. In addition to this, a group of associate members help to support the running of the society, including organising the BTSYM Conference and National Tunnelling Day.
