Reminder - Call for Nominations - HERDSA Executive 2019-2021
March 1, 2019

This is a call for nominations for HERDSA Executive positions for the period July 2019 – July 2021. 

The current HERDSA Executive will complete a two-year term at the end of June 2019 and all positions (except the President) are declared vacant.

The Executive consists of a President, President-elect (1-year term), conference convenor and eight elected members. The positions of Vice-President and Treasurer are determined within the Executive. Members of the Executive become members of one of the four portfolios: Secretariat, Publications, Professional Development and Networks. The portfolios are supported by a number of Officers of HERDSA.

A call for nominations for the President-Elect position was made in March 2018 and Denise Chalmers was elected to this position. The President-Elect will assume the President role in July 2019. 

The term of office for members of the Executive is two years. Individuals may serve up to three consecutive terms, after which they are no longer eligible for nomination in the next term.

If there are more than eight nominations for the Executive, a ballot will be held.

The full information is available in the members section of the HERDSA website at http://www.herdsa.org.au/news/call-nominations-herdsa-executive-2019-2021

This information includes:
• The names of the current members of the Executive and eligibility for re-election
• Position description for a Member of the Executive and Portfolio descriptions

While the constitution does not stipulate branch or regional representation, branches are encouraged to nominate a representative to provide a link between the Executive and the branch committees.

Being on the HERDSA Executive requires a commitment of time. Nominees should be able to commit to the role and it is recommended that they seek the support of their line manager (where appropriate).

The closing date for nominations is 5:00pm AEST Friday 1st March 2019. The new Executive will be ratified at the AGM to be held on 4th July 2019 during the HERDSA conference in Auckland, New Zealand.
