Jimmy Petruzzi: Standing for BPS President-Elect 2026

Jimmy Petruzzi announces his candidacy for BPS President-Elect 2026, drawing on an unconventional background in higher education, performance coaching, external examining, and voluntary service within the Society. He highlights his experience as a full member and associate fellow and his leadership roles on the BPS Northwest branch committee. His campaign focuses on making the BPS feel closer, more visible, connected and responsive so members feel seen, heard, supported and proud to belong. I am pleased to share that voting is now open for the 2026 BPS President-Elect election, and I am standing as a candidate.     My candidate page can be found here:     https://www.bps.org.uk/election-2026/jimmy-petruzzi     My message is simple: I want the BPS to feel not just like a professional body, but a professional home — where more members feel seen, heard, supported and proud to belong.   Eligible BPS members should receive voting information directly from Mi-Voice.   I would be very grateful for your support, and please feel free to share with any eligible BPS members who may be interested.     Best wishes,   Jim
