British Colloquium for Theoretical Computer Science
Previous Office Holders
The formal composition of the BCTCS Organising Committee was instituted in the Constitution of the BCTCS as adopted in its present form at BCTCS 14 (1998).
Prior to this, however, an elected organising committee of Chairman, Secretary, Treasurer, additional members (together with past, current, and future Local organisers) had been in effect since BCTCS 5 (1989), and formally agreed at BCTCS 8 (1992). The post of Postgraduate Student representative was created at BCTCS 11 (1995). The title `President’ replaced that of `Chairman’ following the adoption of the BCTCS Constitution at BCTCS 13 (1997).
