From Paul Hibbert:
Dear friends,
The formal process for nominations for MED elected roles will open at the end of the month; as Past Chair, it’s my one remaining responsibility to coordinate nominations and elections.
Now is a good time for you to think about nominating colleagues – or even standing yourself, if there are new roles that you wish to consider – so that we have a good selection of candidates. As you know, the future of the division depends on our team!
The roles that will be open this time around (for terms commencing at end of 2020 conference) are:
· Program Chair Elect (5-year leadership succession role)
· Membership Coordinator Elect (Takes coordinator role at end of 2021 conference)
· Research Coordinator Elect (Takes coordinator role at end of 2021 conference)
· Secretary
· Representative at Large (1 role, 2 years – one current R-a-L has a second year to follow)
I hope that you will be able to think of (and encourage!) some great candidates, so that when nominations open we are ready to go...
In the meantime, let me wish you a happy new year and a gentle start to the semester!
