Executive Committee Election for 2019-2020

CALL FOR NOMINATIONS

The term of the current ALTA executive committee expires in December 2018. Nominations are invited for president, a secretary, a student member, and three regular committee members. (NB: The outgoing president automatically stays on for a further term as a regular committee member.) The term is for January 2019 to December 2020.

The closing date for nominations will be 5pm AEST Friday 2nd of November, 2018.

PROCEDURE FOR MAKING NOMINATIONS

Each nominated candidate must have a proposer and a seconder, and all three must be ALTA members. The candidate must be based in Australia or New Zealand. The candidate, proposer and seconder should each send an email to the electoral officer, Stephen Wan (pres...@alta.asn.au).The candidate's message should indicate that they are willing to be nominated and it should identify the position(s) they are standing for. The proposer should identify the candidate and the position.

The seconder should do the same, but also identify who they are seconding.

Please make the title of the messages: ALTA 2018 Nomination.

Nominations will be announced on this mailing list.

If there are more candidates than positions, then the affected positions will be filled by means of an election, to be run in later in November. In this instance, short position statements will be solicited from each candidate and made available as part of the election announcement.

For details about the duties of the president and secretary, please see: http://www.alta.asn.au/about_alta/constitution.txt

Please consider whether you would like to nominate someone to serve ALTA, or whether you would like to serve ALTA yourself.

We look forward to your participation in ALTA.

Best regards,

Stephen Wan

outgoing ALTA President 2017-2018
