Tampa, Fla., 4 December 2018—BICSI, the association advancing the information and communications technology (ICT) community is pleased to announce the formation of a new global region, the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) Region.

The decision to combine BICSI’s UK & Ireland, Mainland Europe and Middle East & Africa Districts into one Region was made at the 2018 BICSI Board of Directors meeting on 9 November 2018.

“This is a pivotal milestone in measuring the success of BICSI’s global efforts so far and I expect this to be the catalyst that sparks further expansion,” said BICSI President Jeff Beavers, RCDD, OSP, CFHP. “As our representation in the global ICT market continues to expand, so too will the influence of BICSI in helping to shape ICT technologies and the future of the industry. We BICSI Board members very much look forward to the global perspective this new Region will provide.”

Nominations for the position of EMEA Region Director will open in spring 2019. The BICSI Board of Directors election will then take place in September 2019 and the new Region Director will take the oath of office at the 2020 BICSI Winter Conference & Exhibition.
