SSLA: Call for Board Candidates (Election on 6 March)

[Martin Hinz]

Dear SSLA colleagues,

At our next SSLA monthly meeting on Friday, 6 March, we will hold a board election. As at least one current board member will not stand for re-election, we are inviting nominations and expressions of interest from the community.

If you are interested in running for a board position, please reply to this mailing list (or contact the current board directly) ahead of the meeting. To keep the election smooth and transparent, we kindly ask candidates to prepare a short statement to share during the meeting (about 1–2 minutes): who you are, why you would like to serve, and what you would like to contribute to SSLA over the next term.

In line with the CAA SIG guidelines, the SIG is run by a small committee handling the day-to-day coordination. For SSLA, this includes a Convenor, Vice-Convenor, and Secretary. Typical responsibilities include: coordinating the monthly online meeting series (programme planning, speakers, moderation), managing communication channels (mailing list and announcements), outreach on social media, liaising with CAA as needed, and supporting SIG-related activities.

SSLA thrives on a small group of people who keep the meetings running, help shape the programme, and ensure continuity. So if you’ve enjoyed the series and would like to help steer it, this is a great moment to step in.

With best wishes,

Martin

Hi everyone, 

a quick reminder: 

At our next meeting, Friday, 6th March, we will have to elect a new board (convener, vice-convener, secretary). Please consider whether you would like to help organise the meetings. It really is not too much work: Once a month write an email with a zoom link, sometimes invite speakers, moderate a meeting, take some notes, upload them. As the three people share the load, it is quite manageable. I do think, it would be interesting to see others taking up the organising roles, just to see what a change may change. 😉 Also, as Martin said, we really do need someone new to step up.

Looking forward to see you all on Friday,

best wishes,

Sophie
