ANZSEE 2013 AGM + Nominations open for 2014 Executive team

22. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: News · Tags: , ,

We wish to invite all members of the Australia – New Zealand Society for Ecological Economics to attend the ANZSEE AGM which will be held during the ANZSEE conference in Canberra, and to submit nominations for the ANZSEE 2014 Executive team. The AGM will provide an overview of progress to date at ANZSEE, and highlight initiatives and future opportunities. It will also be the place where the new executive for 2014 will be announced.

All positions of the ANZSEE Executive will be open for election:

  • President
  • Vice-President
  • Secretary
  • Treasurer
  • General executive members (3-5 positions)
  • Co-opted executive members (up to 5 non-voting executive members)

Submit nominations via online form

Successful candidates will serve 1 year terms, with possibility for re-election for further terms. The ANZSEE executive meets regularly (4 times per year) via teleconference, and members are expected to attend meetings and be actively engaged in the work of the Society.

In 2014, we hope to capitalize on the work undertaken by the current executive team in organizing the ANZSEE 2013 in Canberra, by organizing seminars, outreach events and opportunities for professional development.

Nominees must be current members of ANZSEE/ISEE, and must be willing to nominate for election before the deadline.  This year we will be using an online voting system, with the final voting deadline being the date of the ANZSEE 2013 AGM. Details on the online voting system are to follow after the deadline for nominations on Wednesday 6th November.
