Call for Nomination 2019 Election EAIR Executive Committee

The EAIR Executive Committee consists of nine elected members (Chair, Vice-Chair, Treasurer, Secretary and five other elected members), nominated by and elected from the Association’s membership. The President has an honorary, ex-officio, position and Forum Chairs are ex-officio members of the Committee for the 18 months prior to the Forum. The term of office for all elected EAIR Executive Committee members is three years.

Your EAIR relies upon a strong, active and vibrant Executive Committee (EC) to further develop the association. I want to encourage all EAIR members to seriously consider taking up the challenge of serving on the EAIR Executive Committee.

This year there will be three vacancies for the Executive Committee

  • Rosalind Pritchard, EAIR’s Secretary, has served the EAIR Executive Committee for four elected periods of three years. She will stand for election for a fifth period of three years. She holds the portfolio “Meetings & Operational Management”.
  • Ton Kallenberg, EAIR’s Treasurer, co-opted in the EC in 2015 and elected in 2016, has served the EAIR Executive Committee for one elected period of three years. He will stand for election for a second period of three years. He holds the portfolio “Finances & Operational Management”.
  • Mark O’Hara has served the EAIR Executive Committee for one elected period of three years. He will stand for election for a second period of three years. He holds the portfolio “Annual Forum”.

Clarification of the responsibility placed on each member of the EC

  1. It is expected that the elected member will actively contribute to achieving the objectives of the society;
  2. Specifically, each elected member to the EC will hold a portfolio of tasks in one or more aspects of the EAIR’s activities;
  3. It is expected that all EC members, in person, attend both the Annual EC November meeting in the Netherlands and the Annual EAIR Forum (including a pre- and post-Forum EC meeting, both taking place at or near the Forum venue);
  4. EAIR will only cover your accommodation expenses for the Annual EC November meeting in the Netherlands. This EC meeting usually starts on a Friday (late morning) and ends on the Saturday – early afternoon;
  5. Travel expenses to and from the Annual EC November meeting in the Netherlands and the Annual EAIR Forum are the responsibility of the elected member to the committee as are the accommodation expenses for the Annual EAIR Forum.

Nomination for the election
If you feel that such an undertaking is something you are willing to do then please let any member of the EC know and they will find a proposer for you to ensure that the procedures are followed according to the EAIR Articles of Governance. The term of service is three years. Of course, the EAIR secretariat and the current EC members are also willing to provide you with more details on the tasks of EC members, if required.

THE CLOSING DATE FOR NOMINATIONS IS TUESDAY, 28 MAY 2019 (00:00pm CEST).

Please note that you are only eligible to take part in the 2019 EAIR EC elections and nomination if you have fully paid your 2019 EAIR membership fee.
