In short, BADIs is a forward-looking organisation for Birmingham-based ADIs who want to improve themselves and their businesses. Established in January 2000, BADIs (which stands for Birmingham ADIs) is open to any ADI, and anyone who wants to become an ADI, living or working in or near Birmingham. This makes it especially suitable for those starting out on an ADI career, who can benefit from the experience and advice of more experienced members. It is also ideal for more experienced ADIs, who can network and benefit from the varied expertise of fellow members. Unlike many other local ADI organisations, BADIs recognizes that the way to success is not by complaining, but by adopting a professional and positive approach to self-improvement, and by working constructively with the DVSA and others. Why should I join BADIs? • You will meet a range of experienced and progressive ADIs, some working for large organizations, some in small partnerships, others on their own. We are friendly, and interact well, freely swapping our ideas and exchanging information. • We meet up about six times a year, usually with a guest speaker, often from the DVSA. Talks are arranged on topics which members choose. • BADIs is a not-for-profit body, run for the benefit of our members. We welcome all ideas, so that we can make sure we do what our members want. • If you have an unusual problem or question, we can usually put you in touch with a member with relevant knowledge and expertise who can help. • We operate our own web site (www.badis.uk). This includes many useful documents and resources (eg the DL25; DT1; ADI1; National Standards).
