Mixed welcome for latest BADA streamlining


Report by Noelle McElhatton


Council cut aims to speed decisions However, Marco Forgione,


PLANS by the British Antique Dealers’ Associa- tion to cut the size of its council to allow swifter decision making have met with a mixed response from some of its 350 dealer members. A proposal to reduce the


council from its current 19 seats to 12 is part of an overhaul of BADA’s articles of association, designed to further modernise the near-100-year-old trade body. Other changes include


greater use of technology to enable members to vote elec- tronically and to help council members based outside London take part in meetings. Talking to ATG, several


dealers described a smaller council as “undemocratic” and “more London-centric”. One central London dealer, who asked not to be named, said: “We should not reduce the voice of members.”


BADA chief executive hired in 2015 to revamp the association, defended the proposals as “most signi f icant and necessary”. He added: “We live in a rap-


idly changing world and need a dynamic organisation to seize the opportunities and address the challenges we face. Within this, we are looking to ensure our decision making is robust and more speedy.” Forgione said a plan to use


teleconferencing for council meetings was designed to encourage greater participa- tion from outside London. “Physical council meetings


are not always convenient for regional members,” he said. Such use of technology, new task groups and a proposal to co-opt two councillors with skills BADA requires would mark a “fresh approach to the way council operates”. Other dealers canvassed by


ATG support the plans. John Howard, chairman of the
